Countdown to Alaska!

12 days and counting! After 7 months of planning the time is almost upon us.
Alaska has been a dream of mine for years. Pam has made the trip up at least once with work in the past but I think Prince William Sound and Kodiak Island in late August will be a little more hospitable than Fairbanks in February. We've packed and repacked and bought TONS of stuff to make the trip more enjoyable. I have an AWESOME pair of 18 inch green rubber boots now! I really know how to spoil myself...
Last year for our British Columbia grizzly trip we bought some really cool water proof duffel bags. They were great for a 5 day trip but I'm wondering if they'll cut it for a 10 day Alaskan adventure. Tonight the plan is to repack and maybe re-think the cool duffel in lieu of something big and practical.
This trip is primarily a photography expedition for whales, bears and birds but we may accidentally catch some halibut and salmon while we're out. It should be an adventure of a lifetime and we're ready for whatever shakes out.
