My dad has some frequent flyer miles that he's willing to burn on an Alaska trip for the two of us, plus my brother.

I realize that planning a trip like this probably is a monumental undertaking, so I told him I didn't see how we could get it together this summer if we just started talking about it last week. Am I correct in this thinking?

More importantly, assuming we plan for next year, what is the best way to go about planning an Alaska trip? I think this would be mostly a fishing trip but the other might want other activities in the mix as well.

Thanks in advance for your advice.
