I second the idea of a bullet list. Since 2011, we have made two trips to Alaska and will be heading back beginning sometime in June. Yesterday my husband and I were discussing how difficult it is to explain to people when they ask why we want to go back. Our first trip was truly a learning experience. The second was more going back to the places that we liked the first time and going/doing those that we had missed and thought we'd enjoy. This time we will probably do some things that take us off the roads.
The only reservations that we have are for Seward on July 2-6. Other than that, we will be doing a great deal of boondocking. We will follow a route that I have recently planned, but the length of time that we will stay in each place will depend on weather and what we find when we arrive and how much we find to do and see. In my opinion, to really enjoy Alaska, one needs to be very flexible and very relaxed. I also think that since it takes such a long time to get there, one needs to realize all the beauty and opportunities that exist along the way---no matter which route you take.
I am so ready to get on the road!
