OK,, I am new at posting on this site, so please bare with me as I ask my questions.

The wife and I are going to Alaska the first of Sept. for a cruise. We are going to be there in Anchorage on our own for the first couple of days. I have been looking for extra excurision to do there in alaska, but I have no idea at what I am looking at or for. I would like to ride the rail trains and maybe go on a mini (3hr) cruise tour. Is there anyone who has some good suggestion on what we should do while we are there.
