Haha, I have to agree - I believe you. Clamming sounds exactly like one of the out of the ordinary things I'm looking for. Do you have any suggestions on how to go about it? Are there companies or places to specifically go. Or do you just pick some shoreline and start looking? (:

Thank you so much for all the advice! It sounds like you had an amazing trip, and your experience will be very helpful for ours.

The Eastern Route, should be very easy to fit into whatever our schedule comes out as, and your post makes me excited to see it. As well, visiting the Arctic Circle seems like a great trip to take (and I'll for sure have to look into Chenna Hot Springs!).

The Lake Hood Inn also looks very cute, though I think I might be forced to use my dad's Marriot Points to reduce costs. We'll make sure to keep that in mind however.

ALSO. Does anyone in general, have any suggestions regarding white water rafting? And likewise, my mom says she's heard alot of things about taking a boat around Prince William Sound. Is it worth it?

Again, thank you everyone for the help!
