As an Alaskan I sure welcome you to come up and visit, but the trip you're posting about is much too long for the time you have available.

As you can see there are several parts of Canada which have excellent Aurora displays which are much closer to your hometown. You could probably see a great display with half the travel distance.

This Aurora map is for tonight and viewing in SE Alaska is supposed to be fantastic BUT, it's cloudy outside, so nothing to see. The weather gods are against us.
