Any ideas would be welcome.
All reservations can be made on the net.
Have a great time. Next time you go to Alaska give yourself weeks
instead of days.

Good suggestions, both of 'em, but given the short time frame, I'd go with
either the Whittier-Valdez loop or the Denali trip. Squeezing both into a
long weekend is cutting it real close.

Closer to Anchorage is Portage Glacier - an easy day trip - I've done
this one, and it was fun. There's an itinerary outlined here:

En route - if you're looking for good eats - have heard that the
Double Musky Inn in Girdwood is excellent.

yeah, i was going to suggest seward myself, particularly if they
want to go fishing. the sealife center is very interesting.
but then i like small towns, and only stay in los anchorage as
long as business occasionally requires.
kenai fjords *is* spectacular, and the double musky is a great
stop on the way.
and if they want to stay away from the ocean, talkeetna has some
interesting bars and eateries, as well as b&b's. if they can
afford it and the weather is right, a flightseeing trip up to
kahiltna glacier for a couple of hours is spectacular, but
*that's* pretty pricey.
