From Quirky & Fun to Underwhelming

90 miles from Talkeetna to Anchorage this morning. Although it rained for the entire drive, the weather cleared when we reached Anchorage. After dropping off the car and checking into our hotel, we headed downtown to wander.

Considering it's the largest city and the busiest transport center in Alaska, Anchorage was rather dull.

No matter, we board the Alaska Railroad's "Coastal Classic" tomorrow morning at 6:16 am bound for Seward. The 4-hour trip passes through some spectacular scenery across the Kenai Penninsula and we'll be enjoying the view from the domed observation cars. We'll have time to wander Seward and its seaport before boarding the Regent Seven Seas Mariner.

We sail at 7pm.
