Just recently, I came back from a two-week trip from Alaska with my family and friends. It started off with a cruise in Vancouver and then it continued into a land tour through the Yukon Territory and Alaska. We traveled to so many cities, used many modes of transportation, such as trains and buses, and learned so much rich history that I never learned in school. It was an amazing experience to go through.

It was a nice to get away from life and all the stress I have because of school and college. It was also a nice change of scenery because everywhere I looked there were mountains, water and wildlife. It beautiful to see things that I wouldn't see in my day-to-day life, especially the wildlife. Here in Georgia, I will often see deer or dogs, but in Alaska, I got to see bears and caribou. A wolf walked right by our bus and it was so unexpected but amazing. When was I ever going to get a chance to see a loyal animal? I felt like a child again because I was seeing and experiencing things that couldn't be experienced in my normal life, and it was amazing to be able to feel like that again. It's not often that we can act like a child seeing something for the first time.
