Kimnelle,
Just finished reading your review and I liked it very much. I'm in the planning stage of a trip to anchorage. Fly in and rent a van or small RV while staying at campsites and doing some exploring down to Homer then back to Anchorage and fly home. After reading your trip review I'm now thinking to fly into anchorage, rent a car and drive down to a port for the ferry to Juneau then fly home. Either way enjoyed your review very much.
