Amy's Vacation
Made reservations with Alaska Airlines for Amy to join us in Fairbanks on August 18th. Plan is to see a museum or two, then head down to Denali Park for four or five days. After Denali we will travel down to Wrangell-St Elias Park to McCarthy and Kennecott Mine area, then on to Valdez for a cruise on Prince William Sound. From there we will work our way over to the Kenai Peninsula to spend the last week of Amy's trip before she fly's home from Anchorage on September 9th. We want to take a cruise on Resurrection Bay out of Seward, and do the requisite visit to Kenai and Homer.

Alaskan Trip Route
Have put together an itinerary with Al for this trip. The places on this itinerary are not necessarily places we plan to stop, but it was needed for estimating mileage and for setting a timeline for the trip. We do not feel required to follow the route exactly nor the time we have estimated for travel in each area. The only part that has to be followed more or less is that time in which Amy will be with us because of her flight reservations (9/18 - 9/9). Al and I will meet in
Note: We will undoubtedly depart a week, or more, earlier than this to have a chance to stay longer at some spots when we need, or desire to do so.
7/18 - 9/26, 11,339 miles, 71+ days
