Well, if you are going early and staying late, its not a 5 day flip.
But there are still reasons I'd hop a plane to AK in an instant, if I had enough vacation, to help a friend on a short hunt!
Life is short, you have to decide, but in general I try not to do short ones when travel takes time... a day to fly to AK more or less by the time we are done, another day to drive to where we are going, and then recover...
I remember falling asleep in a tent in the afternoon, once.. after a long flight and a long drive. Was going to rest.. but was told moose are all around camp, GO... I did.. got camp set up, it drizzled around 3pm... I woke up before daylight the next morning.
Gotta get enough rest at our age. LOL. And I shoudl say that I generally take something to make me sleep when we board the plane both times... so that I'm sleeping most of the way...if not, leg cramps get me.
