Reservations

Hello all!

I looked into airline tickets and here is what I found...

Alaska Airlines has special offers for groups of 10 or more.  If you would like to fly in a group here is the link to look at and see if it's worth it

Thanks to the wonderful $1,300 permanent fund arriving on October 8th, Alaska Airlines has relatively cheap flights.  Round trip from Chicago is currently $478.  Round trip from Salt Lake City is currently $603 (I have no idea why they are more expensive).

We would love to see people in Seward on August 5th, if possible, and the easier thing to do may be to fly into Anchorage on August 4th.  Then it's a two and a half hour drive on one of the most beautiful highways in the country.  The night of August 5th is our bachelor and bachelorette parties so we'll defnitely want the wedding party in Seward by the night of the 5th and everyone else is more then welcome to join in the festivities, if they like.  We were hoping to hang out with everyone on August 6th (depending on chosen activities) and then the 7th is the wedding.

Rental cars will be needed but in the summer there is no need for 4-wheel drive so any type of car will work fine.  There is a Hertz in Seward so if you would like to take the train one way and then rent a car I would book with Hertz because it may be the only company in Seward.

We are currently trying to work out all the details for the hotels.  Those who will be able to stay at the Saltwater are grandparents, parents, god-parents, siblings and the wedding party.  We are asking all other family members to book a hotel in Seward and we have some discounted rooms set aside at the Breeze Inn.  The Breeze is a basic three-story hotel right near the boardwalk and harbor and large enough to hold everyone in the same place.  They have given us rates of $149 for a regular room, $199 for a harbor view, and $219-269 for rooms in the fancy new addition.

We hope this information helps with your trip planning and we are feeling very loved with everyone coming up for the wedding.  We'll post information on smaller details as the months go by.

Love,
Stef and Trevor
