If you are thinking of coming to Alaska for a holiday (and our wedding!) we are going to try to do what we can to help you plan your trip. We will update this section as we get more information, but right now we can tell you;
- If you are flying from Europe, make sure to check out Condor. They fly direct from Frankfurt over the north pole, which will almost half your journey time. They are also, often the cheapest. Other options fly through Seattle (although you may well have another layover first), which also seems like a nice place if you're thinking of a stop off along the way.
- By Jan 2012 we will be able to confirm a car rental deal for any of our guests to get a reduced price from a local company - we will put the details up when this is organized
- We have a couple of accommodation options for people who want to try to save some cash and stay in spare cabins owned by friends in Alaska whilst they are in Fairbanks. Get in touch if you want us to try to fix you up, although some of these will be 'dry' cabins (i.e. no running water!).
- For anyone else thinking of staying in Fairbanks for a while, we will do some 'scouting' this summer and try to find some places to recommend for you.
In the meantime, if you want any help in finding information about your travel plans, or want holiday suggestions, just get in touch. My personal favorite...is to charter a fishing trip in Homer or Valdez to go and catch fresh salmon and halibut in the sea (schedule this for the end of your trip and they will package it so that you can check all your fish in as extra luggage and take it home to feed you for the year!)

Btw, visitors usually catch the biggest fish - ask Dawn or Deborah. I think the fish are attracted to their nice, foreign scents.
