Comfort Inn Anchorage

... nbsp; We enjoyed the trip. It was raining when we departed Seward but had stopped by the time we arrived in Anchorage.  We checked into the Comfort Inn  for our stay in Anchorage.  The Hotel was close to the train depot and they had a ...

It's been as very long day of travel with a 6:00am flight out of Dayton.  I arrived in Anchorage at 5:30pm local time (it is a 4 hour difference). I decided to try some of the local fare as I was ready for some "real" food and tried a little seafood ...

... to get first class seats for the return trip.  That will be nice on a red eye flight (I hate these overnight flights...) Anchorage airport is interesting as it is a cargo jet haven.  They must just stop to refuel from Asia - the cargo carriers ...

... the aviation junkie that I am, I thought it was cool that the trail went right past the active runway of the Anchorage airport.  I think all the cargo to/from Asia passes through this airport. The strangest creature I witnessed was the imported ...

... glass of pop and no snacks.  A 3hours flight nearly and NO SNACKS!  Air Canada sucks once again! Landing in little Anchorage airport you immediately get the feeling of `small town America`.  We found a cab and headed to the hotel. Our cab ...

... B&B's and restaurants in Charleston (found they are all expensive). My being cheap, I was just going to stay at a Comfort Inn type place outside the historic district. Darin however insisted we stay inside the historic district. So, we packed up ...

... expensive airport priced drinks and food only to be offered drinks free of charge????!  Eventually we landed at Anchorage airport and the nightmare was over. Outside the airport we breathed in the crisp cold Alaskan air, as ...

... how cold it was this year. It is slowly getting warmer.     One bay over from Port Moselle (town), the anchorage in Baie de L’Orphilenat is never dull: Rick calls it Baie de Olyphant and we have established our spot in this anchorage ...

... was as yummy as it looked!!! WE then continued on up to Zanzibar from our Mafia island ( nothing to do with Italians) based anchorage, which took 2 full days sailing. By now I have my sea legs, and can even cook gourmet while rocking back and forth!!! I ...

... 2011 Having lived the majority of my life in Alaska, I learned the term "break up" does not have the same meaning in Anchorage as it does in Kotzebue or other Northern villages. I did not understand fully the term "Ice Flow" either, which was happening ...

... and I'm trying to recall what we did to make time pass so quickly. Certainly having all our friends together in one anchorage lead to many Happy Hours aboard each others boats. February 3 We had a great time attending a Super Bowl Party hosted by ...
