Re: GREAT ALASKAN HOLIDAY SPRING ADVENTURE 2013 IOWA/ALASKA
"you should also expect to get the items you specifically added to the rental, i.e. coffee maker, towels, lawn chairs, sheets, etc." Both times we've taken the trip we did not have to add sheets and towels as they were included - has this changed? You are given a choice of coffee maker or tea pot to be included. For other things such as lawn chairs and bbq, there is an additional charge.768Views0likes0CommentsRe: GREAT ALASKAN HOLIDAY SPRING ADVENTURE 2013 IOWA/ALASKA
I took us a couple MW meals for that first night, but I don't think we ate them in all the excitement. No transportation available to go get something. Last year the lodge there was open for supper, but you can't count on it. Also, there's a convenience store about a block away. I think the buses are scheduled to leave at 5, and supposedly they won't wait on you. But ours waited and waited last time so that we didn't get to Forrest City until 9:00 - time to make the bed and get some sleep!552Views0likes0CommentsRe: GREAT ALASKAN HOLIDAY SPRING ADVENTURE 2013 IOWA/ALASKA
The only levelers are some blocks of wood they provide. SkiCruiser will be your expert on cell service because she also had to keep in contact with work on her previous trips. We only used cell phone in AK where our Tracfone worked the best. Chemicals are furnished. Have you gone to mytripjournal.com? I found it very easy to use, and a great place to read the reviews of others.

SkiCruiser - what are the musts that we need to advise these newbies on the GAH trip to pick up at the local grocery store near the Winnebago factory? I was thinking today about how wonderful their sausage is! Wasn't there something else we made sure we stopped there to get? (And I sure do agree with you about the great info we've gotten from Sue.t - as well as Murray!)355Views0likes0Comments
