Need suggesstions for a 11 day trip to Alaska
Hello FTers,
I am travelling to Alaska for a 11 day trip (Jul 2 to 13th). I had booked flight (750$ from Phily) and rented a motorhome from ABC. I did buy the milepost and started doing ground work for the places to visit. I am more into Photography, so would like to make the most out of my trip. I would like suggestions form you folks for places to visit, things to do,etc. For now, i have put a rough schedule day wise. I am not into Fishing..
I did go thru some of the older recommended threads and still looking thru it.

Day 02 (3-Jul-08) - Check out at ABV Inn and rent the RV from ABC Rentals($$$$- Booked). My main reason for renting a RV is to have a flexible schedule. Iam a Vegetarian and can't eat outside for long. So will cook and have a home food instead.
