[ChineseSkiClub] Alaska Trip

Since this trip was a big one, I started planning this trip since a year ago.  After the travel plan was initiated, I asked around friends to join, and in the end we got 6 in our travel group.  Goals:
1. See glaciers and step on glaciers
2. See wildlife
3. See sceneries and attractions
4. See aurora (northern light)

The original plan was to take cruise ship in the mid of the trip.  Celebrity cancelled the cruise at the last minitue (a week before the sailing date), so we modified our plan by adding Canadian Rockies and Alaska glacier tours.
