Anchorage sits on a high bluff at the base of the
Chugach Mountains along the coast of Cook Inlet
in south central Alaska. It is as far north as Helsinki,
Finland, and as far west as Honolulu, Hawaii. Protected
by the mountains and warmed by Japanese currents
of the Pacific Ocean, Anchorage has a temperate,
maritime climate. Spring through fall, Anchorage's
climate is similar to San Francisco's spring weather,
with temperatures that can reach into the 70's with
an average of 65 degrees. The Chugach, Kenai, and
Alaska ranges can be seen from Anchorage. Mount
McKinley, 130 miles north of downtown, can also
be seen on clear days. This 20,320-foot peak is
the tallest mountain in North America. |

Corpus Christi, located on the Gulf of Mexico in
South Texas, is halfway between Houston and Brownsville.
Visitors will find gorgeous ocean views, and activities
centered around beaches and watersports. The city
has retained small town friendliness and charm throughout
its expansion. Over the years, Corpus Christi and
Padre Island evolved from a smugglers' cove and
frontier trading post into a booming tourist and
vacation area. Visit the USS Lexington, the Botanical
Gardens or the Texas Aquarium while you're here.
