Anyone traveling to Alaska in 2014? We ,my wife and I, are planning a trip and was wondering if anyone is planning on going in 2014 also. Would go this year, except we have two weddings to go to in...

Ferry from Whittier to Valdez. I have a truck camper, 24 foot. Do you think I have to reserve well in advance for the 15 of July?
A friend of mine has a 40 foot motorhome, do you think he can up on the boat?
I would offer that the drive to (or from) Valdez should not be missed. Personally, when doing that trip, my preference is to drive both ways (to/from Los Anchorage). If someone is making the Anchorage-Fairbanks-Valdez- Anchorage loop, driving both ways only doubles up on the Glenallen - Valdez portion of the Richardson highway and that is/can be an exceptionally scenic drive.
The Fast Ferry is 3 (?) hours. The milk run is 12 (?) hours. Neither (IMNSHO) is terribly scenic, although just being on the water ain't a bad view. The drive Anchorage - Valdez can be done in 6 - 8 hours.
I would expect that both the TC (due to "overwidth" charges) and the Motorhome (due to length charges) would be pretty expensive on the Ferry.
