40 days from VA!!!! Have you added up the miles?
We have done Alaska 3 times now from MD. Each trip exceeded 120 days. Each time we came back feeling rushed after a 15,000 mile trip.
The North is much more than just Alaska. Canada is huge & there is so much to see & cover.
I have absolutely added up the miles. I simply do not have the luxury of that much time. Quite frankly, if I don't come home from a vacation feeling rushed and exhausted, I don't feel as though I milked the most out of the time. I'll rest at home!
For fun I looked up my route map from our trip to Alaska last year to see how far 40 days got us from MD. We were still in the Yukon. Had not reached Alaska yet.
40 days RT from VA is going to be memorable for sure.
