Each year, we put out a 2-for-1 travel coupon book for Alaska. Everything is 2-for-1: cruises, flightseeing, accommodations, tours, activities, admissions. Everything.

And each year, we put better offers in the Great Alaskan TourSaver, IMHO. This is our 12th year. The price for the book is $99.95. There’s about $26,000 in travel deals. Of course, you’d need to quit your job and JUST travel around to get all these deals. But at the heart of the matter is this: I spend all year digging up the best deals on God’s little patch of paradise here in Alaska…and these are them. HA!

Here are some of my favorites for 2010.

a. 2-for-1 Flightseeing in Misty Fjords National Monument

b. 2-for-1 Heli-adventure in Juneau, including Mendenhall Glacier landing

c. 2-for-1Halibut fishing in Seward and Homer
