Same here. After 27 trips to Alaska and another planned for next month, I still haven't seen all there is to see in Alaska, though I have seen more than most.

I think you could spend 3 months, or 3 years, and not see it all. It's a big place
Even spending the 10 days I just spent, we couldn't get to Fairbanks, couldn't get to Valdez, couldn't get to Homer - all of which were on our "want to visit list". And those are all still just the "tourist" spots - we didn't even get close to visiting Unalakleet and checking in with Ariel Tweto
I suspect that some year, post retirement, I'll be spending a summer up there. There just something special about it to me.
