Roadtrip in July

Hi! I’m flying into Anchorage in mid-July and have 7 days there (including 2 travel days). I’d like to split time between Homer and Seward but open to swapping one area out for a different one based on recommendations.
My partner and I are thinking of renting a camper van to make accommodations and car travel more flexible. I saw it’s about 3-3.5 hours from Anchorage to Seward, Anchorage to Homer, and Homer to Seward, which is fine with us. Wouldn’t want to drive much further than 4 hours in a day though.

We have 5 total nights to spend, how would you split it? 2 in Homer, 3 in Seward ?
3 in Homer, 2 elsewhere?

We like to hike but it’s not our main interest. Exploring the area by driving, walking, hiking, etc is all enjoyable to us, so I don’t want to base our travel around the best areas just for hiking, per se (understanding that that’s a big attraction in this beautiful state).

Eager for recommendations in, between, or outside of those areas!

HELP. flare up getting out of control!

I just posted earlier today about my ongoing PD or whatever the other issue with my neck and sides of face are, please refer to my post below for how my skin looked today+my routine.
But I just worked out, washed my face with water, did my oats and honey mask and rinsed with water, and lots of these red inflamed bumps popped up! I’m at a loss for what to do…

periofacial dermatitis spread to neck

Hi everyone,
I recently figured out that the rash around my nose for the past few years has been PD and it recently appeared on my chin and under my eyes. I started using sulfur a week ago which quickly cleared up these bumps. However on Sunday I woke up with an itchy rash on my neck (I didn’t apply the sulfur to my neck, only my face and jawline) so I’m wondering if it’s related?

Additionally I have texture around my jawline & sides of my face/ lower cheeks which has recently because itchy and I can’t tell if the sulfur is helping to clear this- I think not. Are these bumps (red and skin colored, never come to a head) related to PD?

Current Routine:
AM
- rinse with water in the shower
- Avene tolerance control on face and neck

PM
- homemade face mask with oats, honey & water for ~15-20 mins
- spot treat with sulfur mask around nose and mouth for ~10 mins (no longer using all over face as it might be too harsh)
- The Ordinary azelaic acid diluted into The Ordinary squalene oil (just started this the day AFTER I got the rash, so I know it wasn’t this)

Pics 1-4: May 26th before I started the sulfur
Pic 5: May 31st when I woke up with the rash
Pic 6- later that day the rash looked a lot better
Pics 7-10: today- the rash looks bad again. the bumps around my mouth, nose and eyes are almost gone. the texture along the sides of my face is really bad and itches only when I wake up or after it gets wet.

Other things I’ve tried- head & shoulders as a face wash. I did this for a few weeks last month but stopped because I don’t think it helped that much.

Any advice is appreciated!!
