So, we have booked our flights and have a rough itinerary. Travelling with be myself, my lovely bride of 20 years, my 15 year-old daughter, 13 year-old son, and 10 year old son (that is all of us!).

This is kind of a big deal for us, as we have never taken the kids on a big trip, and we seldom leave Montana!

Now, I need suggestions and advice on each place we are going.

We fly into Juneau on Day 1, and out of Ketchikan on Day 10.
Day 8 is fishing with a buddy out of Ketchikan (Oasis Charters).
This will be the latter end of August.

The rest is pretty open, and we are using the Alaska Ferry system to get around. Petersburg, and other towns are all on the list to visit. I am open to thoughts and suggestions on places to stay (My wife has a few booked, I am sure), eat, excursions, places to explore, etc.

We don't drink alcohol, but love good food and outdoor adventure, natural history, history, etc. We are not really big on tourist traps, so some local flavor would be nice.

Thanks in advance!
