Count us in for 2018, God willing and the creek don't rise. It will be our first trip to Alaska. Leaving from Florida, you can't get much further away. Plan on leaving the first part of April, stop by and see the kids and grand kids and would like to be in Alaska around Memorial day and stay until Labor Day. Plan on taking our time with the whole trip.
IMO, that is an excellent plan! That is pretty much the schedule we use. This will be our 4th trip and we still haven't seen and done everything we want to do. I really feel sorry for those that drive all that distance and then only stay a month or so.
Really suggest reading the 2013 and 2016 editions of this discussion. We gathered a ton of useful info from these!
