Well as you can see I haven't posted in awhile. Since I started this blog so
far in advance, I was getting people asking me how our trip was, assuming we
had already been! With only a month till we leave, I thought I
might add a post! Getting pretty excited about it..although I have been
excited for quite some time now!
A friend suggested we post some of the costs in Alaska..what we pay
for milk etc. as a comparison to the lower 48. Sounds like a good idea
and will be interesting.
I guess that now is a good time to say that I think we have
saved some money by planning ahead. We got our airline tickets last November
and were able to find a good flight from Syracuse with only one stop (in
Chicago) for $525 round trip apiece. We will leave Syracuse
at 7AM and arrive in Anchorage at 2PM ( altho with the time change it will feel
like 6PM!) If we were booking a flight now , it would be in the $870-$900
range for a similar flight.
Great job! I alway figure the airline prices will only go up across time and buy early. Only once did I end up paying more, so I'm ok in the long run. Really anticipating great news about your trip.
