Upcoming AK trip
My itinerary is finalized. I need to start getting ready for the trip!
Sep 9 MSP-FAI (upgrade on DL award ticket already confirmed)
Sep 10 day trip to BRW. Used $250 AS voucher from FAI to BRW and 7,500 miles to return. Total out-of-pocket cost <$25. Got both the voucher and 10K miles from AS a few months ago due to service issues on a flight in May
Sep 11 drive to Denali, camp at Teklanika Campground
Sep 11-15 day hiking in the park. One of the days hook up with the shuttle bus that Seat 2A is driving that day.
Sep 15 overnight at the Denali Hostel (through Sep 18)
Sep 16-18 day trips into the park with the "Road Lottery" where we can drive our own car into the park as far as it is open (hopefully to the end). After the drive on Sun Sep 18, drive to FAI
Sep 19 very early morning flight from FAI via SEA to MSP
