If you could squeeze in a few more days, going to the Galapagos would be worth it, especially around Wolf and Darwin Islands. You can see hammerheads, whale sharks, giant manta rays - the thing is that you need to be an experienced diver because of the cold and the strong currents. I went with Quasar Expeditions on their liveaboard schooner the Alta, and it was a vacation to top all vacations. If you go, get yourself a good underwater camera.

So sorry the terminal is such a pain. For trips to Alaska, Seattle is still a good departure point. Just so you know, Seattle is putting in a light rail train that will go from Seattle to the airport, so at least that part of the trip may be eventually easier.
