What to bring
- You'll want to be sure to pack a raincoat and waterproof boots, because it rains here often and without rain gear you may be stuck indoors. Although, on sunny days in the summer you might want shorts and a T-shirt.
- Other things you'll probably want to bring include a camera and plenty of film (since film is expensive here) and a pair of binoculars. There are places to get film developed in town, or you can bring film mailers.
- There are several ATMs in town, but unless you have an account at an Alaska Bank or Wells Fargo, they will charge you a small service charge. You can also use cash back at the grocery stores without penalty from the store.
- Other items can be more individualized to your interests: such as snowboards, surfboards, camping gear and fishing gear. There are unlimited outdoor experiences here!
