Any more input on this plan? Have not booked anything yet, but think I will tonight if nobody scares me off.

June 30: Arrive about 10:00pm. Still need a cheap place for the night. Econo Inn (5th street) has some not too horrible reviews at tripadvisor for a rate of $89. Plan on being gone by 7:00am anyway to head south.

July 1 & 2: Trail Lake Lodge in Moose Pass - about 30 miles north of Seward - $99/nt. One day cruise, other day explore by car - Whittier, Homer?, ???

July 3: Return to Anchorage. Free night at either Hilton Garden Inn or Homewood Suites. Explore Anchorage

July 4: 7pm flight home - leaves most of day to explore Anchorage.

Totals:

Flight: 30-50K NW miles + $5 (will probably grab FC just to be safe)
Hotels: ~$300 + 30K Hilton points.
Full Size Car: $135 all in (two days free @ national)
