We think we crossed the last hurdle today and can say with some assurance that we are "IN" for the 2016 trip to Alaska. We would like to leave from NC in mid-May. I have done no planning, will start tomorrow. I will set up a different post for the 2016 group called 2016 List of Alaskan Travelers and those of us who want to do so can put our particulars there. I will try to keep up with it and from time to time post a complete listing (as Janet did in 2013), at least until we leave. Suggestions are welcome. lizzie
