Creator's Key Takeaways

Alaska is one of those destinations where the the trip is as good as the destination is.

We did have a amazing stop in Nana, Alaska. Uh this was definitely a highlight that we didn't even realize was part of the journey.

The Denali Lodge was amazing. Uh, Fairbanks was nice.

If you are going to Alaska, don't just go on a cruise. At some point, or other, do one of these cruise tours.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring binoculars with you as well and the camera with a zoom lens.
Bring shorts with you. Believe it or not, it can get hot in Alaska.
When you get to the lodge, go there and try to get reservations for dining.

Luggage logisticsDon't sweat the whole luggage thing. It's much less complicated than people think it is.
Weather preparationDon't just bring cold weather clothes. Bring some warmer clothes with you as well and have them available.
