Perfect, looks like the bus from downtown would get me there by 7:30.

All I'll be renting is a bicycle downtown. Also, as a non-car-owner who always has to add SLI coverage to the rental, the math is less favorable for me. Still appreciate the suggestion, though. ^

I'm sure any or all of us flying out can share a cab back to ANC if needed.
