Rather than start a new thread, I'll post here.

We're Alaska bound in the spring. We prefer to travel off-peak ie May/June. Is that a good time, or should we wait till it warms up?

We'll be using Alaska miles. This will allow us to make a stopover, and also use miles between cities at their intra-Alaska rates.

At a recent NY Times Travel show in New York, the folks at the booth suggested doing Alaska 101. Fly into Anchorage, then do a week on the Kenai Peninsula.

Here's the question from my wife to you:

For the sake of argument, let's say this will be our only trip to Alaska. What are the must-do things, without worrying about price? If this means a day here, and 2 days there, so be it. Trip length 12 days.

Thoughts?

Thanks.
