Hey, if anyone has returned from an Alaska trip, please post a trip report! We are leaving on Monday Aug. 1 and I love reading them. I promise I'll post one when we get back! (Plus I will review all the lodging on tripadvisor.com)

Thanks! Also, we'll have an almost unused toursaver book that I'll basically give away for postage, we will probably only use one coupon, the Northwestern Fjords tour. Maybe the Sea Life Center also. But I'll post when I get back....

I know, I'll be flogged for not putting "Alaska" in my title - I always use the states to pull up all related state postes, so forget that not everyone does this.

But, in general, the idea stands - no matter where you've visited, you should post a trip report!

Hi birder, I posted a trip report about our trip in June. If you haven't already, just click on my name to find it. I hope you enjoy a wonderful trip!

Actually, to make it easier for you, here's the link...I am so excited for you!

Wow, glad you asked for the trip report. Dcespedes did a fantastic job.

Wow, dcespedes, your photos are breathtaking!!!

Birder, have a wonderful trip!

Dcespedes, my goodness, what a fantastic trip report and the photos are heavenly. Made my husband come look, we both are so excited. He spent a summer in Alaska 20 years ago exactly so is very glad to be going back. It will be my first time.

Thanks again for the responses and well-wishes!

Thank you, all, for the kind words!

Birder, I look forward to reading your trip report when you return. I'm curious to know what your husband's perceptions of Alaska are 20 years later.

I posted a trip report a short time ago. The link is http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...1&tid=34651546

I really enjoyed my trip and hope you have a fantastic time!
