I am heading up there in early October to go meet my GF and I am wondering if anybody would give me some suggestions on what to do if you are familiar with the area.

I have Googled but all they have is nature stuff but we are not going to have much time at 2.5 days.

TIA!

You could always go to the lodge in Moose pass and see my whore of an ex girlfriend.

I hear she's easy.

I was at a conference in Anchorage a few years ago and there wasn't much to do there. I tacked on vacation to the trip and spent a week in the Kenai Peninsula.My best memory of Ankorage was hiking up a small mountain close to downtown.

WTF is there to do in Alaska? Hunt some polar bears. Only reason why I'd ever visit Alaska was if someone paid me an insane amount of money.

Downtown is fun...

Humpy's - Blackened Halibut... yum
Glacier Brewhouse
Sullivans
Snow Goose
F Street Station

If you want a truly Alaskan bar experience you can hit 'Koots... that's always fun.

Really October is a weird time to go... all the summer activities ended in September and the winter stuff hasn't kicked off yet. Bars bars bars... Shit... if she lives there she should know.

Alyeska/Girdwood is nice too... Double Musky is my favorite restaurant in the WORLD! lol... Seriously, it's great.

(Before I ran away to Maui I lived in Anchorage for 6 years)

You could look for the guy she's been fucking while you're not around.

That would probably make for a shitty trip though.

Gotta add Darwins Theory to that list...
Every time I've gone to Anchorage I've had a great time...that said, I've only gone during the summer months- bar hopping and salmon fishing...good times.

God damn, DT is still around? Last time I was there, I got thrown out for starting a popcorn fight.

Drink....

and eat, fresh seafood.

pretty much, that's it. I have a friend who grew up in Ankorage. Her father is a fisherman. There are so many liquor stores and bars there that it's obvious, they get drunk to stay sane. :p
