Who wants to Drive one way  to ANC from either Edmonton or SEA > ANC?  ;D  July\Aug, dreaming of this road trip for a while, it can be done very cheaply with the Barclays landing card $440 in  free travel if  you have 2 or 3 guys with the card.

Wow! That SF TR is not normal. Now I need to look up any other SF TR's that are online bc they must be awesome. And also now I need to try convincing my wife to do Alaska. Why does she hate going to cold places?  :P

For those who have dreamed of RVing from the mainland to Alaska (paging whYME), this may be a pretty good deal:

Hmm. Shavous in an RV doesn't entice you :D?

I guess it's not such a good deal for the people here then...

According to this it seems to be only on Shabbes and only in Anchorage.

No daily minyanim. Chabad is only in Anchorage. Shabbos morning is year-round. Shabbos mincha is after lunch (in the shul), at the earliest zman. Friday night in season and dependent on visitors. Motzei Shabbos can be quite late (think 2 am), though when we were there in August it was a realistic 11 pm, and we had enough visitors to make it happen. We also got lucky to have Sunday morning, but it seemed that's quite rare.
