AK tour saver now 50% off ($50). FYI for anyone considering a flight seeing or other AK adventure this week (such as the Friday excursion to Peterson Bay). I would recommend you confirm with the tour operator before committing to purchase the book though - many popular tours do fill up. Also may need to arrange for local pickup, since the book is unlikely to reach you prior to departure for AK.

See everyone soon!

I knew it was too good to be true, cant make the BBQ after all, last minute work trip and the new award pricing is a killer.

Couple of quick updates about tomorrow's dinner at Cafe cups in response to questions I have received:

Payment: separate checks will not be a problem; however a single item cannot be divided among multiple checks (i.e. an appetizer shared among 3-4 people will have to show up on a single person's tab). Please identify to the waitress who will be on your check and plan to pay your own way.

Corkage: available for $10 per bottle, so if you want to bring wine feel free.

I'm bummed to say it looks like I need to cancel on the Saturday BBQ, sorry for any inconvenience. But Mary and I are still looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow at the brewery and Cafe Cups!

Just checking in from JNU, about to board my flight up to ANC. While not the smallest airport I've been to in the last couple years, it's close!

I hope you have a window seat - my view yesterday from the righthand side was spectacular. The weather is really excellent as well!

If the few folks in town already have any good dinner ideas and want to meet up, feel free to reach out to Zorak or me.

Apologies for the very belated reply but I was holding out hoping that I'd figure out a way to make my first visit to CasaBobW for the saturday soiree.

Sadly, the fates have not been kind and I must officially bow out.

Wishing you all a spectacular DO!

Been off the grid the past two days- work tomorrow, but hope to stop by this after.

I finally figured out why @beckoa is so enthralled by Live After Five.
