Added two new events to be aware of: dinner TONIGHT at Bob's with a spread of Spanish wine courtesy of beckoa...and the tenuous beginnings of a Seward summer DO! See post #1 for details.

Itinerary: Fun in the [Midnight] Sun in Anchorage, followed [or preceded] by a relaxing weekend in Seward, Alaska, with wildlife cruises on the bay, hiking into a glacial icefield, and plenty of stunning scenery to last a lifetime! (Please indicate your interest in this thread.)
Sounds fun... unfort I will be traveling (as I said before ) on the East Coast June 24-July 8... so I would prefer the dates to not include those... and even the weekend prior may be tough....

So, who's up for an ADK do?
ADK do yes! What about the weekend of the 12th/13th of June? I'll have just returned from BRW, looking to go West.

Umm, you mean Emeril?

I know you hadn't had THAT much to drink by the time we started the soup...

(And Bob, don't forget to email me that recipe!)

Hmm interesting...

Keep in mind that ADK flies 2x a week- would not be opposed to spending more then an hour there- difficulty is work- my schedule is variable and typically work on the weekend...

How long are you in BRW? I could possibly burn more miles... ANC-BRW-ADK-ANC 7.5K*3= 22.5 K for Y...

Or 15K + $200 OW ANC-BRW...

Any decisions on the date yet? Given a choice, I'd vote for June 18-21.

BRW is a family trip, there for only two days. Man, ADK looks fun, but I don't think I'm going to get permission for it after all. I'll have to catch a DO another year.

I haven't had time to spend more than about 15 minutes a day on FT reading about 10 of the most important threads, not to mention thinking about planning a DO!

Hopefully we can get something thought about and organized here soon.

Not sure I can make the weekend you suggested work for me, but I will see what I can do...

Yeah... that'll be a tight squeeze for me too... *might* be able to swing two days... Sat/Sun... what day would we visit another city (fly)?
