Ok, so I was a bit pessimistic in the last post…

I looked back, and the last post was somewhat negative.  I’ve had a change of heart, and all of a sudden am really starting to look forward to this event.

I called the promotion fulfillment folks handling the travel for the Sweepstakes.  I spoke with Jackie (I’m not sure of the spelling) and she was very friendly and helpful, as has been everyone involved to date.

After giving her some personal specifics, name, DOB, etc., we talked about preferred carriers.  I had done some homework before calling and had looked at Alaska Airlines and USAir for travel from Anchorage to Burbank.  I’m not sure what they had in mind, but to me that seemed closest to the destination, and less of a mess than LAX.

We did some fare comparisons, and settled on a RT through USAir.  Timing seems to work, and while it goes through PHX to and from, it will leave some time on each end to do a little sightseeing.  We had to check with Amazon on some particulars, but overall, it’s moving forward.

Jackie did mention the hotel was already booked, but I won’t spill the beans on that just yet.  I looked it up, and should be a very nice couple of days.

Stay tuned for more information…
