This was a fast paced, 5 day and 4 night trip to Southeast Alaska in July 2007. We brought our friends Dixon and Linda Ingalls, who had never been to Alaska before. We all made use of free Alaska Airline miles and used the "Great Alaskan Toursaver" coupon book (www.toursaver.com). The coupon books, which costs $100, saved each couple nearly $800. Here was our "fast" itinerary:
Fly from Portland, Oregon to Glacier Bay and stay the night at the Glacier Bay Lodge.
Cruise Glacier Bay and take late afternoon flight to Juneau.
Quickly see Mendenhall Glacier before dark, and take early morning flight to Wrangell.
Take Stikine River Jet Boat Tour, and stay night at Stikine Inn.
Take Anan Creek Jet Boat Tour (to see lots of bears) in morning, then fly to Ketchikan.
Take flightseeing trip of Misty Fjords next morning, then fly home.
