From St. Louis to Anchorage.

The airline overbooked one of our flights, so we volunteered to take a later flight. In exchange we received free dinner at SEATAC, some travel vouchers, and bumped up to first class from Seattle to Anchorage. Here is the first class snack tray, which came with a bottomless glass of wine.

Our first view of Alaska. This is at midnight.

Glacier Brewhouse Sampler

Good Beers

Great Label

After the Glacier BrewHouse we headed to
Snow Goose Restaurant & Sleeping Lady Brewing Co.
We started with another sampler.

All this beer made us hungry. I got a Caribou burger. It was denser than beef but not as chewy as bison and certainly worth eating again. Being covered in melted swiss and caramelized onions didn't hurt.

Nicki swears this Alaskan salmon from Anchorage may has ruined her from

eating salmon from the Midwest ever again.
