Sounds like a great trip! I've seen auroras from Denmark which were quite spectacular, especially because there were some clouds in front which showed off the scale of it. It really made it clear that the auroras were 100's of kms behind and above the clouds to the north and massive in size. Awesome spectacle.
I've been to Fairbanks in '99, bicycled up from Anchorage through the endless boreal forests which was a spectacular experience, the country is just beautiful up there. This was in the summer though, with the sun barely setting over night and with 25 degree temps and lots (as in LOTS!) of mozzies.
