I was in Fairbanks for our “Travel Pop-up” functions … but also I was in the hunt for DEALS. Above–10:15 p.m. as we were taking off from Fairbanks on Alaska Airlines, looking down on the confluence of the Chena River and Tanana River. Over PIZZA at East Ramp Pizza (overlooking the runway at Fairbanks Int’l Airport), the folks at Sophie Station Suites and the Bear Lodge brought the deals.
If you’re coming to Fairbanks, plan for the end of the week (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday). That choice can save you $50-$70 per night!

While you’re in Fairbanks, don’t miss: Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum. That’s Willy, the curator, pictured below. Every car has a story–and he knows them all, including this 1932 Cord!
University of Alaska’s Museum of the North. You cannot miss the whale, hanging from the ceiling (pictured, below). Be sure and check out “The Place Where You Go to Listen“!
River walk and the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center. I never miss an opportunity to walk down by the Chena River. Also check out the Morris Thompson Center. You’ll learn LOTS about Fairbanks and its environs!
Finish off the day with a tall, cool one from HooDoo Brewing. It’s one of my favorite places. Tell Bobby I sent you!
