TOD, when I was a kid I used to go to summer camp for a month. I'd go home maybe one weekend out of that time. Since then, I went on a trip to Alaska with my parents after my first year in law school that lasted....about 3 weeks, maybe longer. We drove to Prince Rupert Canada and took the ferry to Ketchican Alaska, then did a cruise through the inside passage and drove back home via Edmonton and down.
