I'm actually planning on checking a bag, I have a crazy routing to get to Alaska too:
- AA RDU-ORD-DCA-JFK, CX JFK-YVR (All in First)
- AS YVR-SEA-ANC
So if you want me to bring you some Cheerwine, I think I could arrange that. After all did I mention it was Born in the South, Raised in a Glass?

- AS YVR-SEA-ANC

Therefore, if you would like to bring some with you, I would appreciate it very much.
I'm still not sure what my schedule is, but right now it looks like I should be around for lunch.

I have only heard of this fabled beverage. Several of my (umhmmm) friends have imported it to AK but have never felt the need to share it.
Therefore, if you would like to bring some with you, I would appreciate it very much.
I'm still not sure what my schedule is, but right now it looks like I should be around for lunch.

I think I have an old can or two around somewhere

So question: I'm debating between the Sheraton and the Hampton Inn. The Sheraton is a better location, though the reviews of it on FT are not so good. The prices are the same, though the Hampton will net me free breakfast and free parking. I have Hilton status (though this means next to nil with Hamptons) and no SPG status. Any thoughts on which you'd go for?

I'm very happy to report I'm going to be making my first trip to Alaska next month. I will be arriving in Anchorage at 12:30 PM on Saturday October 27th and leaving 1:12 AM Monday October 29th (quick trip, I know). I'd love to meet up with some people for dinner/drinks/whatever and also get some suggestions on how to best enjoy my time in The Last Frontier.
Ironically, this will be my 49th state. Fitting as Alaska is in fact, the 49th state!

You'll be here before you know it...
Ideas- Glacier Brewhouse is always a good stand-by or another one I've come to enjoy is the Eagle River Alehouse (also idine
) but that would be dependent if you have a car or not (and/or weather). Could do something Sat or Sun night- sat should be free after 7 PM.

It WAS a great time, and got you a whole paragraph in my trip report, you crazy shorts wearing man. The Raspberry beer was great too, you just erred by not ordering a big salmon salad like I did.

I'm waiting to hear more news about the Dreamliner DEN-NRT inaugural date (rumored to now be May 12) before finalizing my plans for Ozfest. I may tie the two together (redeem an award from NRT to PER if the dates sorta kinda match up).
