#17 Saturday, August 25th Room at the Inn

Dear Friends

Two weeks from today, we will begin our 756 mile journey from Anchorage to Haines, Alaska,

where we will board a ferry to Bellingham, Washington. It will include a full day across the province of Yukon, Canada. We are hoping to see some caribou.

Kathleen has found accommodations along the way, including a night at Igloo Inns of the Inland Northwest. (see picture) We are staying at a brand new property of the chain which will be open just in time for our arrival! Among the amenities are these:

An ice pick in every room (there are no ice machines)
Free Frozen dinners are available on request! 
Microwave rentals ($15.00 a day)
Snow Cone Tuesday (all snow cones are 50% off in snack bar)
Snow Globe Thursday (all snow globes are 50% off in gift shop)

But wait, there's more! Fresh imported iceberg lettuce is used in all salads in the cafe and Eskimo pies are placed on your pillow each night (weekends only). And (can you believe it?) the manager's name is Jack Frost, who promises a warm welcome to all.

Way to go Kathleen for finding us this wonderful place to remember our wonderful time in Alaska, as we begin our journey home.
