I would do what Ray suggested then... there are a lot of things to stop and see from Anchorage to Homer.. (well what I've read so far in my research )

take plenty of pictures please... I, for one would LOVE to see that trip since I'm hoping to settle in that area.

Didn't drink enough coffee this morning or what? LGT is saying that the first day they'll be here is only a half day, I assume because of the time their flight comes in. All the other days will be full days. Sheesh, man!

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to details.

Calm down, man!

LGT, are you staying in Anchorage your first night and taking off from there the next morning? In that case, personally I'd just relax after all the airport nonsense, and maybe hit some of the local breweries. Here's a bunch of stuff to do if you're more ambitious: Anchorage Sightseeing - See the Sights in and Around Anchorage

Where do you go to get those high paying Alaska fishing jobs?? I don't want to fish deep sea as I think it would be too dangerous for me personally. Maybe as an assistant on a local boat on a lake or river over the summer. Things in the lower 48 are dreadful and my family and I need the money real bad. Thx all.

Check out North Dakota-there's an oil boom going on. Lots of info in their forum. Also Pennsylvania and Texas to a lesser extent.
