We have been looking forward to a trip to Alaska this summer. We were supposed to do a cruise in Aug. with our nephew and his wife but she unexpectedly passed away. Now we are talking taking our trailer and dog and driving Alaska. The debate is whether to drive the whole round trip, doing the ferry for some ocean view, or just driving up, taking a cruise ship and tour to Denali, then flying back to our vehicle. Listening to all of you we seem to be leaning to the driving. Thanks for all the information here. Maybe we will see you soon!
