Mark,
These were all with my new Camera - Rebel T1i. A guy has to be careful what he gets into camera-wise, they can get more expensive than guns.
I agree with your theory on visiting. My family made a 3-week trip from hell when I was a kid. Fairbanks, Anchorage, MatSu Valley, Seward, Homer, Soldotna/Kenai, then on the highway down to Skagway, on to Haines, Gustavus, Juneau, and then on the ferry down to Bellingham. A good trip, but tiring.
