SusyQ,If DH loves scenery and mountains, Alaska will bowl him over. It's drop dead beautiful and it's scale will humble you. If you already own a small pair of binoculars, remember to pack them. You'll probably have a set in your stateroom -- but there are two of you! My favorite excursion was to fly out over the mountains and land on the glacier to walk around. Some folks go salmon fishing and others go dog sledding, but either appeal to me. Kuyakers swear about their enjoyment, but again that isn't for my wife and me.If you haven't done Alaska before, you will need to pack for layering, and by all means take a rain slicker. Alaska in August might be in the 80's, but it just as easily could be in the 60's. So layering is the key.Ted
