First–congrats to all the readers who entered the “Eat, Pray, Love, Win” Premier contest from USTravel.
I love travel contests, especially when I win. It’s also great to learn about the new destinations and new activities for my friends at USTravel.
So–here’s a new one. Answer a few questions about USTravel‘s new website.
You’ll be entered to win a Viking River Cruise ($7,200 value).
While you’re at it, be sure and visit USTravel’s Facebook page. They’re always loading up fun stuff for travel fans. They’ve got a Twitter feed as well. I know–Totally Techno! HA!
USTravel is my go-to resource or travel around the state (Explore Tours) or around the world! Mary Gasperlin, USTravel‘s change-agent-in-charge (VP, Marketing!), will be our guest on the Alaska Travelgram radio show next week on KUDO 1080AM. Tune in Aug. 31, 2010 between 2-3pm Alaska Daylight Time. Of course, you can tune into the website to hear the show live.
We’ll be talking fare sales, local expertise and why it matters, what a travel agent can do–and all about how you can win that VIKING RIVER CRUISE!

Fares change A-L-L the time, right? So–when you see a great deal, jump on it. Enough said. Oh–one more thing: I would “like” the Alaska Travelgram Facebook page and “Follow” us on Twitter. I send out “EXTRA” emails for the barn-burner air fares.  But for the rest of ‘em–watch Facebook/Twitter. They come…they go…be prepared.

Below, I’ve listed some of my favorite fares (some of them are valid ONLY between now and Sept. 11). Call on my friends at USTravel to do the legwork for you. It’s worth it to get it done right.

All fares listed are ROUNDTRIP, ALL-IN (inclusive of all taxes and fees).

Portland 385
San Francisco 355
L.A. 464
Denver 313
