Re: Alaska by RV, solo or caravan . . . . opinions please
We're on the return-home in 3 days. I ordered all the visitor booklets from the various towns, read them all, then did some more internet research. It helps to know what type things you want to do --art galleries, Native American history & culture, museums (every little town has one), fish, 'tourist things'. We usually did not reserve RV sites & stayed in provincial parks when possible. I started researching about a year in advance (library, internet, here, people who had been there) & felt ready to go. Here's a must have - Alaska TourSaver book. $100 filled with 2 for 1 deals. Use it once & it's paid for itself & we also did some things we probably would not have done. Most 'rv parks' are glorified parking lots. If drive the whole way, it's a lot of miles. Canada usually doesn't accept Discover or Amex. Get some Canadian cash. Find a Visa or MC that does not charge a 'foreign transaction fee' (3-5%). Check your phone rates. Sounds overwhelming but you've got lots of time. Have fun planning.411Views0likes0Comments
