The seven-day cruise aboard the luxurious Radiance departs from Vancouver and follows -- for the most part -- the Inside Passage along the British Columbia coastline to the Alaskan ports of Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan, and the Hubbard Glacier. It's a trip that anyone with a taste for adventure should try. There's nothing quite like relaxing on the balcony and inhaling the breathtaking scenery as you pass by at a few knots. Although there's the constant din of the rushing waters below and sea breezes, there is also tranquility and the surrealism of low-lying clouds hovering at eye level.

If anyone were to ask me for my favorite vacation destination, Alaska ranks way up there, with some of the best! The first thing that comes to mind is it's diversity, from glacial fjords to barren tundra, and from rain forest to subarctic taiga. Flora and fauna present a spectacle of their own, where else can you find the biggest salmon, the biggest bears, huge numbers of bald eagles, the largest fields of wildflowers and, in neighborhood gardens, the largest cabbages you have ever seen!

How many people can say they've had the pleasure of visiting the majestic state of Alaska? I never thought I'd get there, so on a whim one day, I took a job that would allow me the luxury of two full weeks in scenic Kodiak Island. I was alone, unassisted, embarking on the adventure of a lifetime. And while I knew it would be a heavenly experience, I never realized I was about to create life-altering memories. It is so well worth the money. And I promise you, the memories really WILL last a lifetime!

The Butterfly Tree - Dali
The Butterfly Fountain is situated at the foot of Yunlong Peak of the Cangshan Mountain, 44.7 miles south of the Dali Old Town. A tall, majestic tree stands high beside the fountain covering the pond with its large boughs and luxuriant foliage. It is known as the "Butterfly Tree". Every 15th of April when spring is changing into summer, a fragrant smell from the tree will attract many different types of butterflies, causing them to come and dance over the pond. The most splendid sight is when they join together one after another and form a long string hanging down from the tree to the surface of water.
