I appreciate your considering us as your service provider.

We know the economy "stinks" but Alaska is still worth that sacrifice.

You can always replace money

but you can not replace a lost opportunity

Most providers believe visitors’ numbers will fall-off this season.     My attitude is that you don't make the mistake of delaying or postponing your visit because of GLOBAL financial concerns.     WHY?   There will be even less crowding.   Everything I can do to help with your planning please ask.   Heck, you might just decide to stay.   I did, (30 years ago), and only regret not coming twenty years sooner.   So...welcome to the best place (ever) to visit and/or live the rest of your life.  

Though not primarily a vacation planner I'm pleased  to share some 'sourdough' (OLD TIMER'S) information that will help ensure you 'chicako's'   (NEW COMER'S) have the best possible adventure within your visiting schedule.  

Your first question to your guide should be..."how does one become an Alaskan   sourdough"?

The REAL Alaskan answer is quite amazing.

Year-Round: Custom Land-Tour's; Excursions:
1-day to 1-month: Small 5-14,   Medium 15-20,   Large: 21-47

Ask for itinerary suggestions, i.e.:
lodging, camping/hiking, scenic/historic, educational tours; history, archeological, geological, native history, Rocks and minerals, etc.

I appreciate full value for my hard earned dollar and believe I provide the same quality assurance, and competitive pricing, to my customers. Too many times when traveling I have felt I was overpaying for a service simply because that service market was restricted, and I have always found a welcomed reassurance when a competitive service provider was available.

Of course, there is always a need to maintain a business profit to continue service, pay our suppliers and compensate my Alaska resident employees who depend heavily upon their seasonal earnings for their off-season livelihood and family necessities.
