Well, An Alaskan Cruise IS Out OF The Question Now
My wife and I had considered an Alaskan cruise for our tenth anniversary.

Alaska has proven it does not deserve our tourism dollars.

I think we'll spend some time at Virginia Beach next summer, though.

1. California, Arizona, Florida and Arkansas have also proven they are not worth my dollars.
Sorry to the DU'ers there ... I know you were part of the solution, not the problem. But I really don't want to set foot in any of those states right now. I'm too pissed about the anti-gay votes there.

4. Agreed on all four.
No toruism in any of those states so long as they are majority bigots.

6. Alaska is out. FL should be in
I'm with you regarding not traveling to Alaska for the time being, even though it is my favorite state to visit.

FL turned blue with this election. I'd hope that this nice change would bring you our way.

10. Actually, I came to FLA (for a family wedding) last year for the first time since 1971 ...
... and I loved it. Those Gulf of Mexico beaches are GORGEOUS!

And I had a fabulous time at the Dali Museum in St. Pete.

14. Come to the Outer Banks
:D

Plenty of beautiful scenery, not over developed like VA Beach and SC beaches. We have history and wild horses too.

15. Most AK cruises don't get money into AK beyond extras you pay for.
Hey, it is a big state and has lots of beautiful places. There are many people there who could use any extra money you want to give them, esp in cruise towns. Just because the wasilla hillbilly lives there isn't a reason to ignore the whole state. No cruise ships go near Wasilla anyway.

16. I feel sorry for the normal people in Alaska....
I used to want to visit, but now I just can't,haha.


Oh Christ, and on AC360, Anderson Cooper just said "And also, Sarah Palin...at home, cooking moose stew, and talking to our own Gary Tucker." Fucking moose stew, can you just stop it already?
