Alaska TravelGram

Okay. It’s a small thing, but I’m a bigger man for it. Mm-hmm. Era Alaska’s cookies. They are back on the Dash-8 flights. I flew to Kenai the other day. These tasty treats are individually wrapped for your comfort and protection! ONE per traveler, puh-leeze. I asked for three of course (for the children). HA! [...]

Okay. I’m not really a “travel guru”. HA! But I play one on TV. Tune in each Wednesday here in Anchorage on KTVA CBS 11. During the 5:00pm broadcast, I have a little travel segment. In the newsroom, Dave Stroh and Andrea Gusty grill me about the deal-no deal world of air fares, travel and [...]

Others are valid just through the end of September. Call [...]

If you haven’t been to Wrangell, in southeast Alaska, you may want to cash in some Alaska Airlines miles and make the trip next week. It’s the first annual “Bearfest”, starting July 21. Bears are everywhere, but there’s a GOB of blacks and browns at Anan Creek, about 30 miles from Wrangell. I love these [...]

…all the live-long day. And it’s high time for some high adventure close to home. Ride the rails from Anchorage down Turnagain Arm. I never get tired of that drive–but it’s even more fun when you can relax and watch the scenery instead of trying to pass that RV on that blind curve at 75 [...]

Had a great visit over the July 4 weekend. Above, even the kids race to get those fresh fish to your table–whether in bare feet or Xtratuffs (HA! This was a “pink salmon relay race” we attended)!! Lots of salmon, bears and a fairamount of water sports! Plan now for the big fishing events between now [...]

Not sure why my favorite Alaska trips start with “K”, but that’s the way it is! Check the video for Kodiak, Kennicott and Katmai!!
