Alaska weather can be pretty unpredictable, so I’ve read a lot of travel blogs and articles about what to pack. Our trip is seven total days: two are traveling to and from Alaska, four are on the train, and one is a cruise down to the Kenai Fjords. The weather in Alaska this time of year ranges from the 60s to 70s with chances of rain. The fjords will be colder because it’s an open water trip. We’re planning to pack the heavy stuff (like boots) in a checked bag, and we’ll each take a lighter carry-on with the other stuff.
Clothing
– Waterproof hiking boots
– Waterproof pants
– Rain jacket
– Fleece layer
– Base layer shirts
– Underwear
– Moisture wicking socks
– Normal socks
– Gloves and hat
– Underwear
– Laze around the hotel in something beside jammies clothes
– Jammies
– Flip-flops (or other casual shoes for lazing around the hotel)
Other stuff
– Camera, lenses, battery, charger, rain sleeve, tripod
– Sunscreen
– Bug spray
– Toiletries
– Granola bars for Mac’s breakfast
