Travel City

I would like to say that waking up at 4AM to catch a flight from Seattle to Oakland and then taking a shuttle back to SF and then driving to Tahoe to celebrate New Year's makes for a long day.

Pasagshak

I would like to say that although the Kodiak museum, aquarium, and the sushi at the Old Powerhouse were good, the cliffs on the beach at Pasagshak were amazing even though I was disappointed with the lack of bison despite their prominent feces.

Anchorage surprise

I would like to say that although we spent most of our day waiting in the Anchorage airport the few hours we spent downtown were probably enough to fully enjoy this chilly city whose best feature could very well be the Glacier Brewhouse.
