An enjoyable trip report.
Apart from the UK Alaska is one of the few places left in the world that would entice me on to a long haul flight although I wouldn't fancy spending so much time in Anchorage. As for Arizona with temperatures like that no ruddy way!!

Good to see the flights went well but judging by your CLT-DUB sector food photo either AA have very large forks or their steaks are a miserably small size.
