I'm just up the road from you in government camp up on mt. hood. I was living in portland last year and go back frequently. I'm also (trying) to head up to Alaska for this summer. How did you go about getting your gig and could you recommend any other resources?
Thanks,
Evan

School is going alright, it's getting down to the wire. I will probably be going somewhere else next summer...I was thinking Europe for a couple months. Alaska is my fallback at this point. What are you thinking? -- wanna join me? ;)

Looks over the kenai river, like right on a real tall bank on the river. You will love that view everyday. Surrounded by mountains everywhere you look. Just amazing! Looking forward to coming over and buying a drink from you and finding out your reaction to this crazy valley.

Opti-staffing is a temp firm that set me up quickly and well. Longhorn (Longbranch?)Saloon is famous for their burgers and is the friendliest saloon in town (thus very busy). There are more, but I can't think of the names now. You may want to consider Alyeska @ Girdwood (37 miles south of Anchorage)... I have friends in the banquet department and there are many cool people who hang out there. The hostel is cheap and you can stay for a decent amount of time. BE CAREFUL of cheap rents in Anchorage... there is a very serious gang problem in Anchorage (to the point of 2 public shootouts at the mall 2-3 years ago). Cheers, thanks for all your kind help amiga.... akscootr

At 11:02pm on April 7, 2008, AlaskaBound! said…: I am planing on staying anchorage this winter as well...Have you any idea on where you are going to look for work? Are you going to try for another seasonal gig, or something more "normal" I have looked at The Alyeska Resort, they have tons of winter jobs and just built a brand new big employee housing unit. Also there are a bunch of hostels that look for help during the winter. Who knows what will happen, as life continues to be one big adventure! Looks like the cost of living is pretty high in anchorage from what i have seen on craigslist.

At 6:59pm on April 7, 2008, Nikki said…: I am planning on flying out on May 13th. How bout you? Are you flying, if so what do you think has the cheapest flight (they are expensive)?

At 6:27pm on April 7, 2008, Nikki said…: Yes, I am very excited, but nervous as well. I will be a server at Gwin's. From what I've read, it seems that you are not too far down the road from me. What will you be doing?

At 12:21pm on April 7, 2008, akscootr said…: Hi Breaze,

I should be there tomorrow or the day after... are you ready for Alaska yet :0) ? I'm already missing it, but this summer's goal needs to be accomplished first. Than back home.... I think you won't have a hard time calling Alaskla home. It seems to be hard to think of Alaska in any other term anymore. Cheers, akscootr

At 10:35pm on April 6, 2008, Kristen said…: Ah! Yes! Another KPL person!! Are you as excited as I am? I'm going to be a breakfast/lunch server at the restaurant. When do you get there? I'm not leaving until May 30th just because I have an insane amount of things going on.
