Alaska (end of july)

sort of a bucket list thing.

the travel will be long but interesting, we fly from here to dubai, and then have an emirates A380 flight direct to san francisco direcly over the north pole. a few days in SF with family and then SFO-anchorage.

there we have a car and will be tooling around for ten days, on the itinerary are a boat day trips in the kenai fjords national park, and also to the columbia and meares glaciers near valdez (remember the exxon valdez?)

taking a car ferry across prince williams sound, ( love it, thats where captain cook hung out while looking for a northwest passage) and staying mostly in airbnbs in tiny fishing villages here and there.

eventually flying back from anchorage to NY for a few days in the city, and then home.

at least thats the plan. anyone been to alaska?

Yes, and it's quite spectacular. The only thing I might add is a trip to Denali. The vistas from the park road are stunning.

Beatutiful area. I have been a couple of times. Kenai peninsula is very nice.

Inside passage is nice also, but cannot get to by car.
