Day 1 - 8/1 - Arrival in Anchorage

We arrived in Anchorage around 11 on Friday evening. We went to our car rental only to find out that our special coupon deal that Chris pirated from on of the coupon websites didn’t work and instead of $700 they were going to charge us $1,600. We left the airport that night in the shuttle bus to our hotel slightly stressed and not knowing how the rest of our trip was going to play out. Luckily, our very resourceful Chris was able to find yet another coupon for yet another car rental company and the next morning he came back with a $800 Highlander. The agent was slightly surprised how Chris was able to get such a great deal but he gave it to us just the same. Thank God… else our whole trip would have been somewhat different.
