AK on the GO

It’s December; snow is falling outside and temperatures are in the high teens, and it will be dark soon (or it still is, depending upon the point of view). But I’m warm and toasty in my little Anchorage split-level, soothing my chilly soul with a quick read of The Great Alaskan TourSaver coupon book, given to me by my friend and Travel Mentor of All Things, Scott McMurren.

Scott and Company have been publishing this “best of the best” of Alaskan travel deals for years, and if ever there was a time to purchase one, it is now, when vacations are more frugal and time is of the essence. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING in the Great Alaskan TourSaver is 2 for 1. Fishing or floating on the Kenai River next summer? 2 for 1. Alyeska Resort tram ride? 2 for 1. Era Aviation Anchorage to Fairbanks? 2 for 1! Did I mention that’s like, freaky-cheap?

Parents, especially, will appreciate this money-saving, quality-driven coupon book. Scott McMurren is one of the most reputable travel gurus in the state, not to mention the whole darned U.S., so AKontheGO trusts his judgment when it comes to trips and tours for families and visitors.

We have a big family to-do coming up Summer 2010. Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt and Uncle and Little Cousins all factoring in for some wonderful, but also wonderfully-pricey, activities. The TourSaver will not only allow us to get everyone on board (the boat, train, or airplane), but also will provide a great synopsis of the myriad things to do in the 49th state.

Where does one procure this 5X7 gem of travel value? Visit the TourSaver web site, or call 907-278-7600. $90 is the cost, but believe me, if you have family or friends headed up in the next year, this will be the best 90 Clams you’ve ever shelled out. I’ve got reservations in already at a number of hot spots. Kayaking in Seward, museums in Fairbanks, a hotel in Anchorage, halibut in Homer….heard enough? Go buy one already!
