"The Boss" (wife) and I are going to Anchorage, Alaska in June. I have a few questions for those who know.

When we get to AK, that will be our 50th state.

The boss is partially disabled and uses a walker. So, handicapped accessable is important. Long walks are out.

1. The boss loves to shop, go to museums and cultural sites and shop. What are some good ones in and around Anchorage, Seward, Homer and Denali NP?. Did I mention that the boss likes to shop?

2. Are there places to pit-stop along the way from Anchorage to Denali NP? We went to New Mexico a couple of years back and in several parts of the trip there wasn't a place to stop for hours. That's not an option for someone with TBS (Tiny Bladder Syndrome).

3. What is the terrain like on the way to Denali? The boss doesn't like driving on mountainous, twisty roads!!! Should we take the train or drive? (I'd rather drive, she'd like the train).

4. What are the top sites to see in Anchorage, Seward and Homer? If you had to choose between visiting Seward or Homer, which one would you pick?

Thanks

    We love visitors! In Anchorage visit the Ulu Factory and the Wildberry Shop. Anchorage is just like any other big city in the Lower 48..filled with chain shops, restaurants, and lots of traffic. In Seward, visit the Alaska Sealife Center. Before you get there, stop at Portage and drive around the Wildlife Center. The drive up to Denali is pretty much a straight shot. Yes, there are miles between bathrooms. Bring a camera and a journal. Make happy memories. Welcome to Alaska!
