My wife and I will soon embark on the trip of a lifetime, beginning with a week-long tour through interior Alaska and finishing with a four-day cruise from Glacier Bay to Vancouver. This adventure is so far beyond the scale of any trip we've ever taken before. It is our first ever group (packaged) tour itinerary and our first cruise.

The challenge in our preparation is time vs space. We want to bring enough [all weather] clothing for nearly two weeks, yet there are specific space limitations on planes, busses, and staterooms.

I'm assuming some members here have been on similar trips and I will surely welcome any advice you can give me on proper preparation and expectations.

Thanks!
