Hello to my 'new' Alaskan Friends!

Thanks to a glitch price at the Howard Johnson's in Anchorage (20.00 per night for a 2 bed suite), I'm finding myself on a 50 hour trip to Alaska late next Sunday through early Wednesday.



I'll be arriving on CO from SEA at 11:23pm on the 28th, and then leaving also on CO at 12:40am on the 31st.



Currently, my plan is visiting the Alaska State Fair one of the two days (so kind of them to be holding it while I am there). I believe things are pointing towards doing this on Monday, leaving Anchorage by 9:30/10:00am. I wouldn't want to offend anyone on my flights home should I smell of the state fair.



I also will be meeting up with a classmate from High School, who happens to work at the Anchorage Museum. This is on tap for later on Tuesday afternoon, in the 3-ish range



I'd imagine that all occurring during one of the two days, so I have some free time, and since you FT's from Alaska are always happy to see and meet "new" people, I figured I'd take a shot and see who or what is out there. [B] I know when I first posted someone mentioned a quick meeting at the airport, which I'd be down for. I actually am a newly minted Amex Platnum, which affords me access to the Alaska Airlines Board Room. (Through the Priority Pass Card.)



Anyway, I look forward to some replies (I hope), as well as some suggestions, etc. Thank you all again. I look forward to hearing from and perhaps meeting you.
