Which place is better for a vacation?

Come on up to visit us here in Alaska! We are just like any other state in that we speak English and use the same currency. You didn't say when they will be on vacation. Alaska is a huge state and the lightness/darkness all depends on where you are and in what month. Every hotel/motel has darkening draperies so relax...sleeping is easy. Yes, we are expensive. Gas here is $4.38/gal and diesel is $4.27/gal. Tourism is our biggest business here so we can accomodate your every whim in making your visit a memorable one. We have clear water, clean air, abundant wildlife, and wonderful scenery!
