Hi All!
Just a quick update:
We looked into blocking rooms at some hotels in downtown Anchorage and at the Alyeska Resort in Girdwood to make things as inexpensive as possible for guests choosing to stay in those places. Interestingly enough, however, Expedia has prices either comparable or cheaper than the deals offered for blocking rooms.
Sooo ... have a look here.
In terms of downtown hotels in Anchorage, the Hilton is definitely in a great location where you can walk around downtown Anchorage. We have never stayed in any of these hotels, however, so can't recommend anything personally!
*Also we are planning some get togethers on Wednesday and Thursday the week before the wedding - very casual hiking/BBQing/etc options for anyone in Anchorage without plans. We'll be sure to give more details on the invitations!
Cheers!

As an official Auntie, I must make my trip report. Ryan and Sarah were the consummate hosts during a whirlwind, jam packed trip to Anchorage for the Iditarod start. We hiked (with and without snowshoes) quite a few of the trails they recommend, ate at several (not nearly enough) of the eateries they list, drank adult beverages (both in and out of the hot tub.) We ran out of time, or we would have done much more. What a marvelous place...home, wilderness, critters. I want to repeat everything in August AND do all the things I missed on the quick trip. Will somebody invent a new clock to extend the days, please?
