[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've done two land trips to Alaska with teens and a brief trip to Iceland with DH. We liked Iceland enough to go back this summer with our teens. But we LOVED Alaska. I think there's more variety there and endless things to do. I still want to go back for a dedicated bear viewing trip.
Surprising to us - the food in Iceland was much better. Things like the hot springs are different and interesting. And you have the fun of going to a different country. 
But Alaska is so beautiful in the summer. Denali, Kenai Fjords, even just the drive from Anchorage to Seward. Wildflowers bloom everywhere. There is abundant wildlife (There's basically no wildlife in Iceland. Just lots of sheep). I definitely plan to return. 
Weather-wise, Alaska is also very unpredictable with rain. You basically pack the same things for both places.

You can't lose either way. Both will have a lot of driving. Both are very manageable. Both will be great with teens. [/quote]

This sounds amazing PP. how long was your trip and what was your itinerary?[/quote]
