Travel Daily Tip

When on a cruise ship from Alaska to Vancouver/ Seattle (or the other way, you will stop at Skagway – there are a lot of tours you can take any place you stop while cruising but at that place one of the main attractions is taking the train to whitepass at Yukon territory – its costs about 150usd or so. we decided to do this trip on our own and it was amazing – we rented a car at the local Avis (90usd a day) and drove 70 miles to Emerald lake (right next to the railroad anyway) – on the way we saw many bears just walking on the road, we stopped at many   view points which were unreal – just rugged as it can be, we had a stop also at carcross desert which is the smallest desert in the world, at Yukon suspension bridge and at emerald lake we turn back and drove the 70 miles back – it was a great 6 hours trip.

On our way to Geirangerfjord (before starting to drive on trollstigen),  we made a small detour to Eikesdalen valley and we drove there, once you get to the waterfalls you can turn around and drive back all the way  or you can drive on a dirt road for 3 or so hours – views are amazing.

When Visiting San Francisco (Especially for the first time), take your car to civic center and start to follow the eagle sign (with the number 49 on it) – this is a 49 miles scenic drive going through all of  the city attractions.  You will see Chinatown, marina district, and eventually you will  get to twin peaks which offers amazing view of the city.

When in Israel you will see a lot of the sea – that is for sure, but there are some real gems hiding along the smaller roads. One of these roads is the road leading from north of Netanya to road #2 going through some small villages and right on the water.

Directions: When you are in North Netanya, continue into Avichail (its a small town next to Netanya)  keep on  driving west till you  get to a stop sign, take a right follow the road  (you will see the blue bay hotel on your left) right after you pass the hotel you will see the sea right there to your left – some really nice views, if you want, park your car and go down to the beach – usually these are pretty empty.
