Alaskology

About the blog: Alaska is a wonderful and fascinating place. Whether its backcountry hiking, coastline kayaking or dining on a downtown deck, there truly is something for everyone. This blog picks up where the annual Daily News Visitors' Guide leaves off. The guide is published in late April, but that's just when summer fun starts heating up. Throughout the year, we hope to give readers a look at Alaska through local eyes. The blog also serves as a calendar of what's going on, a place to look for some outstanding vacation deals and other cool stuff. We invite your comments and your questions. E-mail me at alaskology@adn.com.
About me: I live in Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, and I served as the special sections editor at the Anchorage Daily News for nine years. My wife and I have been Alaska residents since 2000 and never plan to leave.

Going to Portage Glacier? Call ahead

If you’re planning on taking the Portage Glacier Cruise offered by Gray Line of Alaska this weekend, make sure you call before you go.

Gina just drove her mom and a friend down to Portage for the 3 p.m. sailing only to find out the boat had a mechanical problem and all the cruises were canceled for the rest of the day. Who knows if they’ll fix the m/v Ptarmigan by tomorrow?

Be smart, call ahead. Gray Line’s phone number is 1-888-312-5581 or (907) 277-5581.

Hopefully you’ll have better success than my wife.

-- Steve
