Coming up!

Our trip is just around the corner... and we're putting the details into place. As the plan stands, we'll spend the first night in ANC and then head south to Homer, seward and the Kenai penisula.

1) Camping: does anyone know of any good camping spots or Internet resources about camping in Alaska? We'll be hauling our gear from here in Colorado and want to be sure to take the right stuff! What kind of night-time temperatures should we expect? Any other Alaska camping tips? Our goal is to do Alaska on the cheap...

2) Sea Kayaking: We're not experienced kayakers by any stretch of the imagination, but don't want to miss out on this! So far, the best I've found is a 3-hour tour with Sunny Cove for $49. Any other suggestions?

3) Sites to see: What's "not to be missed" on the peninsula? We want to get some good hiking in and obviously see our share of wildlife. I'd love to hear from people that have ventured down there before on similar journeys!

Of course, we'll be recording a lot of our stories on our blog... but that's a couple weeks away yet!
