Well, you talked me into it. ^ Burned some miles with NW and will do 6/30 to 7/4 as planned.
Don't think I want to deal with a hostel, so I booked the Econo Inn for $89 the first night. Second and third are at the Trail Lake Lodge, and last at the Homewood Suites. Seems like a pretty flexible plan - and not bad cost wise. Everything can be canceled if something better pops up.
Any chance of a decent priceline deal this time of year?
I think I'll go for the 9.5 hour premium cruise with Kenai Fjords. It's only $40 more than the half day. I'm not going to book now. I'll wait until the trip gets closer or just walk up to have a better idea on the weather.
One last question (for the moment). Any good brewpubs in the area?
Thanks again for all the help.
