Work is sending me up to Alaska for a couple of weeks (First two weeks of September). I'll be in Anchorage, Faribanks, Kodiak, and Ketchikan. Most of the time will be in Anchorage and travelling with a couple of days in the other spots.

What do I absolutely have to see? Or what shouldn't I miss - I don't want to return and have to hear that I should have seen this or done that.

The birdhouse burned down a few years ago.

And yes two weeks is definitely not long enough, but what can I do.

If Mr Whitekeys is open, you should definitely catch it:

It's certified "turtle free" by the Municipality of Anchorage
Buy a bottle of champagne, get any Spam™ entree for 50% off
Buy a bottle of Dom Perignon and get any Spam entree free!

(At least these conditions were in effect several years ago).

I imagine Chefguy or someone else natively inclined will be by to give you a more serious answer.
