We're Ryan and Katherine, and we flew to Alaska and back in Spring 2024 with our dog Magic 🐶.

After our pizza was finished and our customs-dictated departure time had arrived, we filed our flight plan and departed for Whitehorse.
Very soon, we waved goodbye to Alaska as we crossed the border over the Alcan.
There isn't a lot of excitement on this leg, but there is still a bit of nice scenery.
There were no more wildfire smoke plumes or cloudiness to contend with on this leg, and we continued on to land at Whitehorse again without difficulty.
We cleared customs over the phone again with no wait, got our fuel, and taxied over to transient parking again. (By now we knew our way around the airport!)
I had considerable difficulty finding a decent motel (the season was heating up!), so we ended up in a pretty dreadful (but expensive) motel by the river. We even had to switch room because the water didn't work at all in the first room. On the plus side, they did have a pretty good Japanese restaurant attached to the building, so we got some dinner.
Despite the motel difficulties, we were just glad to be fully on the way home, so we put on some TV and got some much-needed showers and sleep.
