Since we are fulltimers, we are used to traveling solo. We did go up to Alaska from Indiana with one other couple, friends of ours. I particularly enjoyed the company and since we travel with DH's complicated heart problems, I felt much better traveling through the wilderness with another couple. Both the guys know their way around mechanics, etc., so it gave me an extra feeling of comfort, although I wasn't worried about safety. As it was, the other couple left when we got to Valdez, canceling their ferry reservations and the rest of the trip. We continued on with our itinerary and enjoyed the rest of the trip. As it was, the remaining trip was in areas more populated and roads that were as well (Canada 16). So I didn't have the same concerns coming back through Canada on the return. We spent more time with friends in Juneau than we would have probably. He was in cancer treatment in Houston at the same time as DH, so it was super great to spend time with them.
A wonderful trip. I can't believe we've been there and back.
