Have a safe trip. I've never been to Alaska but it is on my bucket list of places to go. Might have to skip Hawaii one of these years and go.

I hear the mosquitoes are almost more dangerous than the bear and moose this year. Pack some serious bug spray.

I saw several outfitters running the kenai the last couple times I've been to alaska. Lots of good fishing, little dependent on how the run is going and if the state got their numbers where they want them, but you picked some good dates I believe. You will have a blast!

The Kenai can and does get extremely crowded, but you should have a great time. Make sure to pack some good rain gear, and lots of bug spray. A head net for the mosquitoes isn't a bad idea either. The bugs will eats you alive. The Kings and the sockeye make a hard run in the later half of July so your dates should be great. My dad caught a 69lb king on the Kenai a few years back, not the biggest to come out of that river but an amazing fish no less. Have a great time and make sure to smoke some salmon and have it shipped home.

Had a great time in Homer, but it was 25 yrs ago this July. Don't remember it being crowded back then. Even though I knew that the sun would be up most of the night, it was still a shock to the system to be up at midnight and still thinking it was 5 in the afternoon. First time I ever saw the extreme tide changes that occur at Homer. No matter what you do,you will have a good time there.

You heard correctly.

I heard yesterday that if you put a new dryer sheet in your pocket it keeps the skeeters away? worth a try.

Enjoy the midnight sun. When I was stationed in Fairbanks back in the mid-50's we really enjoyed the midnight sun while out panning gold. I'd like to see what it's like up there now that I am a civilian.
