7-18 & 19-08 Day 21 & 22 Talkeetna - Anchorage

Friday was another rainy day and we rode to Anchorage in the morning and got there around noon. Stopped for gas & a coffee and started making calls for rooms on the Kenai peninsula which was our intended destination. For over an hour we called dozens of places in Seward, Soldotna, Kenai and points in between and everything is booked. Evidently this area is like Key West Florida and you need to book well in advance. As the weather isn't cooperating we decide to get a room in Anchorage and make that our base and run day trips from here. That was not an easy task either but we eventually found rooms near the airport. After getting into our rooms and getting settled we meet to form a game plan. We decide to do a glacier cruise in Prince William Sound and book that for Sunday as the weather is suppose to improve to scattered showers Sunday and tomorrow will be a leisure day around Anchorage to do laundry, visit the Harley shop and do whatever. The hotel has a courtesy shuttle if the weather is lousy.
