We’ve made it to Alaksa with no problems. So far everything has gone to plan . . .well almost. When we were getting our rental car, we decided to stick with what I originally reserved, which was an “Economy Car”. Looking at the car classification guide at the counter it sure looked like it would be approximately the same size as a “Compact Car”. We went with it. When we went up to the garage to pick it up, we were somewhat shocked that the Chevy Aveo looked like a car you might pile 12 clowns in and laugh as they all tried to get out. It’s quite small. Only 1 of our suitcases fit in the back. We’re going to stick with it. Last night we headed into downtown Anchorage and ran across some bears. No big deal. We spent the night at Elendorf AFB. Pros: Cost $28/night. Cons: Woke up to Revele at 0700. I guess that’s ok since we are excited to get on the road. We will be heading to Seward today, hopefully we will be able to take a glacier boat cruise to the Kenai Fjords National Park. More to come . . .

Great pictures….although this is the first time I ever saw a “Tommy Bear”. I thought that you were a jerk-a-saurus. Keep us posted.
