Snagly......we still trust Alaska. About a month ago we went right to Alaska Airlines on the net. We go every summer and we've never had that good of a price. There have been good prices off and on and I think you have to be sure to check over what they are offering. And recheck. My husband couldn't find the prices right away. Someone else had to make a flight there and told us. Maybe we could post when someone sees an offering. Three out of five trips have been in August and we've never been sorry. Gorgeous weather has always been there for us. Husband is up there right now fishing with Bob and tomorrow will seek the halibut. Actually, that's the guys' trip, but I wish when our kids were younger, we had taken them to Alaska....if the wife doesn't want to fish, then let her clean clams! And take her to lunch at Halibut Cove across Kamechak Bay. (Spelling???)And I could go on and on. That's why I thought if someone were giving Chris a gift....don't use a travel agent, be satisfied without flying"in", don't worry if you don't have a luxury bed once in a while, great campgrounds, get a copy of the travel book from the Anchorage Chamber and fly right!
