1. Trip Prep & Itinerary

Alaska, here we come! Its 2 days till Craig and I hit the road on our estimated 5 week road trip through the eastern part of the state, and the usual final prep is taking place. Packing, final itinerary adjustments, lawn maintenance arrangements, online management of bills, mail forwarding and all that. Craig has the car ready to go.

Craig and I have engaged in several adventure travel trips through South America and the US, so we have developed a bit of a travel rhythm based on managing the logistics of the trip, and on each other's travel personalities. (Note to Karen: NEVER "help" with driving suggestions, and make sure Craig gets fed every 2 hours).

Our itinerary starts with a brief stay in coastal Oregon, and a trip to Victoria & Vancouver as we make our way through British Columbia to get to Skagway, the northernmost part of the Inner Passage's typical cruise ship port stops, where Craig has some business to deal with. The rest of our trip is highlighted on the attached map.
