Around Seward and Alaska

Hello Everyone! Welcome back to our blog!  Since the last post got most people thinking about their journey north, this one has some more information for you on where to stay and what to do.  First of all, we will be working on seeing if there are group discounts for flights or car rentals in the near future so that will be our next post.  This post is to help you figure out where to stay and what to do while in Alaska.  We will be working until the week before the wedding and will be ready to meet up in Seward on August 3, 2010.  We are planning on spending the few days before the wedding in Seward to enjoy hanging out with all who come to visit.  Although Seward has a wonderful lodge where we're having our wedding, it also has many other places to stay and many things to do.  Posted below are links to help you plan your trip.
Besides going to Seward, we hope that some plan on exploring other parts of Alaska.  Let us know what you would like to see and we can help you figure out where to go.  If you would like to see lots of animals we recommend the Kenai Fjords Tour (we recommend this for everyone because it's fantastic) and then heading north to Denali.  If you want to see glaciers, Prince William Sound is a great place and you can take a ferry to the towns of Valdez or Cordova.  Lastly, if you wish to fish and hike, all of the Kenai Peninsula is perfect, especially the town of Homer.  All of the towns we mention are cute, cozy Alaskan towns that have excellent places to stay and beautiful views everywhere you look.
Now back to Seward.....
