In our quest for honeymoon spots, Alaska came a close 2nd. Thus, for our 1st anniversary we decided on Alaska.. well atleast part of it - Anchorage & vicinity. We planned the travel, boarding & lodging, daily activities and transportation ourselves... although last minute. We also got help from another couple who visited Alaska in summer '10.
Flight : Alaska Airlines, OAK to ANC
Car : AVIS Compact Car @ Airport
Hotel : RodewayInn @ Downtown ANC
Duration: 6 Days
Apart from the usual things, the other most important things to pack: Hiking Shoes, Sunscreen, rain jackets/umbrella, kayaking/rafting wear, *mosquito repellents*, eye-shades (24 hr daylight), crampons, hiking poles, bear sprays. During our hikes, we heard some Alaskan locals carry a gun for protection from wildlife in some of the wild trails.
Various sites offer useful travel information:
Alaska is huge, it is impossible to cover everything in 1 week. Of the various places to visit, we picked some that we could cover in this trip: Seward, Whittier, Anchorage, Talkeetna, Mt. McKineley, Matanuska, Wasila, Palmer.
