How was I able to lay over there twice this year?

JNU is a hub for Southeast Alaska air travel (over 150,000 aircraft operations per year). Tiny towns in Alaska of just a couple thousand people (Wrangell, Petersburg, Cordova, etc.) have airports with daily (or more) jet service, so our capital city of 30,000 most certainly does. Sure, the airport is a few miles north of town, but it definitely exists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juneau_...tional_Airport

ETA: Reading further down the thread, I see monitor already addressed this. Yes, monitor, you're remembering Juneau's approach correctly. Some discussion here: http://www.airliners.net/aviation-fo....main/2555526/

You may be thinking of Ketchikan. The city of Ketchikan is on the mainland, but the airport is built across the channel on the virtually unpopulated Gravina Island (no flat land to build the airport next to the city). Residents currently have to take a ferry to get from the city to the airport, which is the main way out of town. This is, of course, the proposed site of the Bridge To The Airport, which was the subject of much great debate in Congress some time ago. ;)

Looking for VOIP recommendations for the home. I know about Vonage.. and I used to have Lingo a few years ago. Are there any other VOIP providers that come highly recommended? I tried these VOIP review sites, but they just seem biased toward providers I have not heard of before.

Thank goodness. It appears that terminal senility has held off, at least for the time being. :D

I'll wait to hear from Franny before believing what you say. :p

Hello Box

Springfield IL is SPI- Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport. UA-Express goes to ORD and AA-Eagle goes to DFW.

No golden fares from Spirit.

Unfortunately, it's not always terminal. :rolleyes:

Greetings from PEI, Canada. Great day today, hitting three provinces and driving the Confederation Bridge. Good eats tonight to celebrate Canada Day and then on to a ferry tomorrow and out to the eastern end of Nova Scotia for 4 nights. :cool:

Beautiful country up there, and an impressive bridge. If they ever bridge the Bering Strait, they'd use the Confederation Bridge as a model for how to deal with ice floes. (Saw that on a Discovery Channel Extreme Engineering episode--quite interesting.)

Good m/a/e B:rolleyes:x

I saw that special so many times that I was more or less obsessed with making the drive once up here. That the toll is near $50 (:eek:)was only slightly annoying.

Taking the ferry back to Nova Scotia this morning and then driving out to Cape Breton for a four night stay. Gonna be lots of fun.

Happy Canada Day!

'morning B:rolleyes:x.

Looking forward to the Pizza Hut Mega Do next year! :p

:eek: I think I must've gone when the Canadian dollar was weaker against the US dollar than it is now. I don't remember paying THAT much!

SEA-PDX has decent train service, too. About 5 trains/day each way. Amtrak's codes for the train stations are the same as the IATA codes for the airports. The corridor actually goes Eugene-Portland-Seattle-Vancouver.
