I am planning on spending a few days in Anchorage, at the end of an Alaskan cruise, in May, 2012. Can you recommend things which we shouldn't miss... also hotels, B&Bs, etc. How many days would you suggest for Anchorage and surrounding area? Thank you.

Alaska Fly/Drive
My husband and I created our own two week Alaska Fly/Drive vacation last summer using Anchorage as the base. I'll send you our itinerary and travel notes separately. Since we had already been to Alaska before, we skipped going to Mt. McKinley. However, if this is your first trip, you will want to take a few days to see the park and maybe go white water rafting there. Then, if time is limited, I'd go into the Kenai Penninsula, ideally all the way to Homer and possibly fly fish en route. Of course, I always enjoy the glacier nature cruises which can be taken from Seward and possibly even Portage.
