Where you going? There is a Sheraton, Marriott and Hilton in Anchorage but properties in Seward and Homer are typically family owned. Check out Princess Lodges too - more upscale

Alaska Airlines is obviously the deal here but Delta and United have directs from Minneapolis, Chicago, Portland and Seattle

Take the boat tours on Prince William Sound too. Beautiful

Check Princess Cruises and see if they accept

Come to Australia instead!

One item borrowers shopping for mortgages get too caught up in is rate. Most borrowers don’t know how to read a loan estimate and get taken advantage all the time. Just because a lender/bank offers you a low rate doesn’t mean it’s best deal. Most cases, especially now since rates have gone up, you are being charged points for some of these lower rates in the 4s. If you don’t know or understand discount points feel free to shoot me a message and I can help you review estimate and see if can beat
