Whoa! Sign up now for a great Murder Mystery Weekend, Nov. 13-15.

Check out Endofthespit.com for special lodging packages–and activities around the Kenai Peninsula!

Keith and Margo’s Murder Mystery Weekend special plots starting Friday evening  at the Friday reception. Meet the scheming, manipulative, deceitful and murderous people that you will be spending the next day and a half with!

The mystery begins on Friday evening and develops at lunch on Saturday. Dreadful events occur, and you may stumble over a dead body or two. By dinner on Saturday night, you should have all the information you need to solve the murder but just when you think you’ve got it sussed, watch out for the final twist!

Sunday breakfast at Land’s End Resort is when it all comes to an end! You’ll be asked to write down our best hunch about who did what to whom, and why.

Remember: There are great “Getaway” packages available even if you can’t make this “killer” event. HA!

GETAWAY PACKAGE:  Overnight accommodations, dinner for two in the Chart Room Restaurant, glass of wine or non-alcoholic substitute with your meal, unlimited use of pool, hot tub (beachfront! ), sauna and fitness center, plus continental breakfast. The cost? As low as $138 per couple for one night. Stay two nights for as little as $218 per couple. Wow.

We love these great food-and-wine events at Land’s End in Homer, Alaska. When you go, stay at one of the Land’s End Lodges. Here’s a shot of one with the fireplace going to take the chill off the morning!

Check out the kewl video we did last weekend!

We took a great flight with our friends at Maritime Helicopters in Homer. Out over the Homer Spit we went. Here are a couple of the photos we got. As they say–film at 11. Still sifting through the rough footage.

John Jacobs was our pilot with Maritime Helicopters, flying the Bell 206 Jet Ranger…ya–with the door off!

You can see Land’s End Resort on the Right. The beachfront condos on the left are the ones Land’s End rents out–fully-furnished. They’re very nice. Here’s an interior shot below (unit #713). I love the fireplace–especially on those chilly September mornings! Check out the tug pulling the barge in the background :
