In reply to Steven Barrows. Hi Steven, To be honest we didn't do a great job of tracking expenses for this trip. Costs can vary wildly here depending primarily on your choice of vehicle and its related fuel costs as well as lodging.

Hey Doris,

Thanks for taking the time to let us know you enjoyed the story. Sounds like you’ve got the right idea with a small RV and a loose time line. There is so much to see and explore.

Have Fun!!

Thank you for letting us share in your FLORIDA to ALASKA adventure! Fun reading although I got a bit nervous when you encountered snowy roads. (And that nearly-off-the-clff accident? Yeesh!) We will be driving from FL to Alaska next June, but in comfort, in a small 20 ft rv. (We are senior citizens in need of a few creature comforts!) Expect to be back by September, but who knows. No set time frame. One more destination/adventure we will check off our bucket list.

Keep traveling and enjoying life!

In reply to Alvin Brinson. hmmmm if you are willing to go during spring/summer of 16, Aaand you are not a time nazi, and you are doing this for the fun of it. Plusss you do the lion share of the driving, I would love to split the cost on a companion journey. Background check will be necessary :)

In reply to A. Z.

Hey Antonio,

That’s super awesome to hear, I’m glad we could inspire your journey! To answer your questions you shouldn’t have any issue with your debit card (but call the bank to let them know you are traveling just in case) and I always try to carry some local currency wherever I go. A lot of gas stations, and other businesses near the border will exchange cash for you, just make sure they are giving you a fair rate.

Other than that, just take it easy on the roads as they probably have some extra frost heaves, etc from Winter that haven’t been fixed yet, and avoid driving at night, as there is a lot of wildlife on the roads. Oh yeah, and one more thing: Have an Awesome trip!!

My husband and I are leaving Alaska back to our home state Florida, and because I read this, we are driving it!…. I read this blog a few weeks back after we decided to move back “home”. So I took my car into the dealer, serviced it, sold everything in our home, packed everything and we are thrilled to report that we leave tomorrow! Any tips for driving through Canada? Need Canadian dollars? Am I going to have issues using my debit card? Places to avoid? We’ve done all the research, but you’ve done the trip!
