I know it does seem expensive to me too, but I kind of figured it was due to the weather, and that it is over an hour from the airport. Besides, I think my insurance copay for a hospital stay (if I am driving) is about $500. lol  |

I use them all the time in the winter while icefishing and to keep my camera gear from freezing. They even have one's you can use as body warmers. |

You Guys Rock!
 I love this forum! You guys are the best. There is nothing like information from people who actually know what they are talking about. I am appreciative!  |

Naw, you have been mislead by our heavily edited posts...
Hope your trip up is a great one. Make sure you get the left window seats out of Anchorage to see Mt. McKinley if the sky is clear and daylight. |

When I flew to Alaska, I put the hand warmers in my luggage with no problems. The TSA even inspected my luggage and left them there. You just cant take them ONTO the plane, but in luggage is fine. |

From what I understand I am right down the street from some great Sporting Goods store (from SpringHill Suites), so I will buy them there if I dont find any here. Thanks so much!
