WE are planning a 3-4 month trip to Alaska This summer and keep getting ALL kinds of conflicting info ranging from you are CRAZY to take your coach up there/the trans Canada hwy is a piece of crap/to consider going by ferry!!! I am opening an Alaska travel thread and am calling on the brilliant collective POG consciousness to clarify what is involved in everything from pre-planning/routes taken/guides used and all other helpful info...thanks
