Three Alaska-sized itineraries, plus links

In Alaska Travelgram by scott

Above: Loading up the Everts Air Pilatus PC-12 for the flight back to Anchorage from Galena.

For those who don’t know, I’ve been writing a weekly travel column in the Anchorage Daily News since 1982.

Usually, I include LINKS for readers to click through for more details. NOT SURE WHY, but I failed to do it yesterday. So….here’s the link to the story… 

Planning the perfect Alaska itinerary is part art and part science (You may be prompted to subscribe to the Anchorage Daily News to read the whole story. Of course, I would encourage you to do so. )
