In Homer, Alaska: Hale Caesar

17th February
2010
written by scott
I love the little play on words from our friends at Land’s End Resort in Homer, Alaska. Here’s a shot looking out onto Kachemak Bay from Land’s End Lodges.
Hale=Van Hale, co-owner of the famous Marx Bros. Cafe in Anchorage. Caesar=his famous tableside presentation of the classic dinner salad. Van has offered classes for years on how to make and present these delicious salads. Pictured at right, Van (left) with restaurant partner Jack Amon (right). Meet in Homer on Fri., Mar. 12.
You’ll hear phrases like “It’s all about the bowl”. But take a look at the itinerary. I think it’s all about the wine! HA! This special class at Land’s End Resort includes a Welcome Social on Friday night (with wine), a class on Saturday where you’ll enjoy four different Caesar salads (with paired wines), a Saturday night dinner (with wine) and Sunday brunch!
Enjoy the company, the food, the wine, the views–everything. Sounds like a blast!
The cost? $149 per person. Special packages start at $372 for two people (not including tax or gratuity). Call (800)478-0400.

Fly Anchorage-Frankfurt for $703rt all-in

6th February
2010
written by scott
We’re all about deals at Alaska Travelgram. And Condor German Airlines is near the top of theheap this week, with summertime flights to Germany, starting in early May. We priced trips in May for as little as $703 roundtrip, all-in between Anchorage and Frankfurt…NONSTOP.
In addition to the nonstop flights from Anchorage to Frankfurt, Condor also flies nonstop from Fairbanks. This is the quickest and least-expensive way for Alaskans to travel to Europe.
Take advantage of Condor’s great summertime deals. Frankfurt, as you know, is right in the heart of Europe, with access to low-cost carriers, trains and other transportation options. I’m looking at several destinations right now! See you on a Condor flight soon!
