Now I've got to find those long john thermals that I put away until next season after the last football game. No sense in buying any more for my once or twice a year needs and also no sense not wearing them to the frozen tundra (I seem to recall that is near where we are going).
We are on for Friday night at BOB W's and also for whatever is happening on Monday since we have a seven hour change at ANC and would have plenty of time to join a group for dinner and get back there for our 1AM departure to SLC.

I hadn't planned that far out. Maybe we can work something out where before we go to the train station, you can follow me to the airport and we can leave my car there, and then you can leave yours at the depot. Upon our return, we can follow the reverse procedure--I can take you over to your car at the depot. (Or vice versa--your car at the airport, mine at the depot--it doesn't matter. We can either split charges for parking at the depot or we can sneak the car into the parking lot at the Comfort Inn...they only enforce the parking restrictions there during the fishing season...
)Accommodations at Chena finalized? If not, I can call on Sunday about the local resident rate for a standard room there...

The "Gang of Four" is SeeYa, Monitor+1 & Bob W. You had better show up since you asked a silly question. You are not on the list on page 1. An update is what I was hoping for. The more the merrier (and more wine gets opened). I just need to know how many to prepare for.
Your plan for car placement works for me. I'll follow you to the airport then leave my car at the depot. My kids can pick up my car & get it back home.
Monday you will be in charge of transport.
I have a suite at Chena. Sean, Jackal & me works out perfectly.

Am I one of the four? I think I did mention up-thread that I'd be there.

Still tempted to change my ticket to meet in FAI on the 7 PM flight Sunday... and return at 5 Monday using 5K miles (As AS has a fare sale on ANC-FAI right now)
But unsure about working that Monday...
...And getting picked up that late from FAI
(And I might jump at the chance to snag a bump on an award ticket - as the planes are packed!
)

...And it sounds like there's a get-together on Monday too... (the 16th) so all sorts of fun
I highly suggest the 13th at Bob W's... unfort I am unable to attend. But the following events will be fun too...

I figure we should start early since everyone will need to be up early on Saturday to catch the train.
There has not been much interest in Wed. night at this point. It may be a very small group. I anticipate the schedule to be about the same at Friday.
PM me if anyone needs directions to my house.
Thanks,
Bob W

akdude, you'd better show up for some of this stuff. You have gone on long enough trying to avoid me, and we are destined to meet SOONER rather than later!

Can the post be updated to reflect those two names please?

Not happy that we are missing this dinner on Wednesday, although I think that by Monday these Florida folk will have had enough of the weather up there and will be very happy to run for shelter from it.
