Day 16 - Sep 15, 2000 Last updated: 9/15/00 8:00pm AKDT
Today we strolled around downtown Anchorage. Usually the workers at the gift shops asked where we are from. We usually say “outside Chicago”. One woman today said that she has a niece that works with the children’s theater in Chicago and asked if we were familiar with it? They must not have a clue as to the size of Chicago, as I’m sure there is more than one children’s theater, not to mention that we live 38 miles west of the city.
Lunch was a quicky at the A&W. Dinner was at a place called Gwennies. It was pretty bad. Skip it if you’re ever up here. Our last hotel is the Spring Hill Suites by Marriott. It’s pretty nice.
The big question of the day is, are we coming home? I guess since we’ve already purchased the return tickets, we might as well use them.
Tomorrow is a flying day. So unless something interesting happens during the flight, this is the last report. At some point I may add a trip summary, like best place to stay (Alyeska Resort), best place to eat (Pike’s Landing, Fairbanks; any dessert from Princess; the nacho platter at the Denali Princess Hotel; Double Musky, Girdwood), best adventure (kayaking, Homer; bear viewing, Brooks Camp; Angel Rocks trail hike, outside Fairbanks; Prince William Sound Tour, Whittier), well I guess that’s a summary 🙂
