Sitting in the STUDIO (WHOA!) with Big Dave Stroh, I have the opportunity to share some killer deals with the viewers.

Check the video for travel gear update:

a. New “Quantum” jacket from ScotteVest.com . This jacket has 28 pockets–perfect for skiing, or skating through the airport. A pocket for everything and everything in its pocket.

b. Great designer laptop sleeve by YakPak. It’s perfect for my 15-inch MacBook Pro, but I fear wife will swipe it for her shiny new MacBook 13-inch.

c. Keep loved ones in the loop with the “Spot” personal satellite tracker. Now available at GCI‘s retail stores in Alaska. Learn more: www.findmespot.com

I appreciate the hands-on approach I get from USTravel with my travel  arrangements. Last-minute plans to far-flung corners of Alaska (Ketchikan) are no problem for Kelly Jo and the professionals at USTravel. After all–they live here. Think about it: how many reservation agents know the difference between Shishmaref and Shaktoolik? Hoonah and Huslia? Here’s a snapshot of #1 son, Drew, at a scenic Ketchikan overlook on a sunny day (hope, pray for sun!!).

Travel to rural Alaska is just one specialty of a local staff. They also know where to find the best deals from Alaska to all points on the globe. it’s nice to know that in many Alaskan cities (Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, Ketchikan, Prudhoe Bay, Kodiak and Dutch Harbor), your USTravel agent is just a local call away–and they have their finger on the pulse!
