Anchorage Alaska real estate question? Why is real estate in Anchorage Alaska so expensive?? In surrounding cities, of anchorage, i can buy a single family home for just 150,000, but in Anchorage, that'll only get me a decent apartment to a crappy townhome. There is the obvious answer like " Anchorage is the biggest city and all those other cities are small in population", but i just would like to consider other options. Thanks!

I need help with alaska travel plans for next summer.? I'm planning on flying into anchorage and renting a car. I'm travelling with my Mom and planning on ten days. I'm planning to drive to Denali, spending 1.5 days there, fairbanks to fly to Barrow for a day, drive south again to Glennallen and Valdez, go for a fjord tour from Valdez, ferry to Whittier and drive back to Anchorage, shop in Anchorage and fly home. I was in Alaska once before (Anchorage, Seward, Denali) and spent six days there.

The most expensive petrol in the US ? UK peeps please check?

Hi all! Got a cute joke here.please star if you like!? Dawson boarded an Alaska Airlines flight in Anchorage, Alaska bound for Dallas Fort Worth, Texas with a box of crabs for friends and family. A female crew member took it and promised to put it in the crew's refrigerator, which she did. Dawson advised her that he was holding her personally responsible for the crabs staying frozen, and proceeded to rant and rave about what would happen if she let them thaw out. Shortly before landing, she announced to the entire cabin, "Would the gentleman who gave me the crabs in Anchorage, please raise your hand?" Not one hand went up, so she took them home and ate them herself!

Would you do this for more money? My husband was offered a job as a police officer in Alaska. He is currently a correctional officer here in Minnesota. We are close to family here and neither of us have ever been more than 4 hours away from our family! We have a six month old son and I know my mom would be really sad if we moved so far away. He has always wanted to become an police officer and anchorage pd would pay double what he is making now... meaning I wouldn't have to work and could stay home with the baby and have more! Anyone been there or have advice?

looking for a particular snow globe...? Approx. two years ago, my children gave me a special limited edition snow globe that they bought at Nordstroms in Anchorage, Alaska. It was an actual scene of Anchorage and played "Born Free" when you wound it. They got it to remind me of home and I loved it - it had much meaning to me! Unfortunately, it was stolen and i would like to find another. Can anyone help me?

I cant trust my husband? So I have had issues with my husband lying the past few months. Usually over stupid stuff. Im almost five months pregnant and had to fly home to virginia all the way from alaska where we live. When I came back I had a eight hour layover in anchorage. he told me he would drive six hours to get me so i didnt have to sleep in an airport being pregnant at all. He never showed. I called him and he told me he got called into work (hes army)..well needless to say I called his work and he lied to me. So i call him back and he told me he just didnt feel like driving to get me. I cant help but think something might have happened while i was gone. Also, just yesterday I found that he had a myspace he never told me about. I asked him why he didnt tell me and he said it wasnt his myspace, he didnt have one. Well i made him check his email and there ya go, myspace message notices all over his email. He was basically stuck in a corner and didnt have much to say. What do I do or say...? also, i didnt ask him to pick me up. It was his idea. I would have been fine with the layover. thats another thing that pissed me off.

What is the best airline card for getting miles if you want to fly to Europe from the 50 states(not just 48)? So far Ive found continental that advertises that you need only 50,000 miles to fly from the 50 states to Europe in low demand times. However, from my home state, Alaska, they only have that 50,000 miles coverage from Anchorage. I live in Fairbanks Alaska, Alaska's second largest city. Alaska Airlines charges 80,000 from Fairbanks using British. Hehe:) for some reason I posted in the wrong section. Well try looking up on AlaskaAir how much a Fairbanks to Anchorage ticket is.. Usually around $200 with taxes include or 15000 miles. Very expensive and you end up with two separate tickets instead of one. 3 years ago when I was coming home from Europe I got stuck there for 2 days because of fog and was on 2 tickets(one with miles) to save money. I ended up paying $100 to change the date on the miles ticket and might of spent more than that had I been delayed again.

Would you care for elderly parent? My half brother does. My mother is 89, has suffered 2 strokes but still mobile and except no longer driving pretty much self sufficient. My half brother charges her $5500 a month for a bedtoom and her own bathroom. Also acquired 4 houses she had owned, each on 5 acres and worth over $500,000 each. The step brother really doesn't need the money. His wife drops several thousand dollars of that each week with a couple visits to the casinos. Both drive 2007 Cadillacs as well and besides his home in a gated community has a 2006 Provost Motor home (been years but about 1997, those started at $850,000) My input, DISPICIBLE! A half sister asked her to live with her (Anchorage Alasks)free. I would ask her but live in a travel trailer on a 30 degree hill. Were my circumstances just a bit different. She could live with me free. As is, I could provide something comfortable for her for less than $1000. And wouldn't accept more than necessary. I tried 5 years ago to do something when it was first about to happen. I spent $15000 trying. I have two other siblings both that supported my efforts 5 years ago. Both backed down after I hired attornies. My mother gave my half brother legal authority. Been through social workers and the rest. Answer always the same, "She can do as she wants with her money." I add that my mother hates the other 3 of us now because of the half brother's influence. And the half brother was twice Dishonorably discharged from the military (got a general discharge on 3rd attempt) 8 years in prison for drug sales and 6 bouts of Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Does it just about every 7 years.

American Idol Elimination? 4/23/08 Brooke or Jason? I'm in school, do do do, working on my essay, and American Idol here in Anchorage, AK doesn't start till like 7 or 8, and I will go home at 9PM so, who got eliminated? ;3 Oh mi mammy Mia!! Carly got eliminated? I was expecting Brooke White to be eliminated.. so weird!!! but unlike the "shock" I got when Michael Johns was eliminated( I didn't even watch that show either), I'm not really shocked with Carly's eliminatio yeah, coz American idol is all about connecting to the audience, and right now.. people just love : David A and C , and Jason Castro, they connect pretty well, and Michael Johns? yhup, him too, it's just that people forgot to vote for him.. Brooke should have been on the bottom 2 :(

out of state for college? I am presently a senior in high school, and am nearing my graduation date (in May). I live in Arizona, and am an only child. I want to move to attend the University of Alaska Anchorage, and probably continue to live there afterwards. I am close to my mom, but I am very independent. I love my mom, but I wish to leave to Alaska. I understand that it is very hard for her, since she only had one child, and my father is a verbally-abusive maniac. I am torn about leaving my mother behind, and pursuing my own goals, but at the same time, I feel that it is necessary for the both of us. I thought possibly making the situation a bit easier to accept by attending a university here in Arizona, and living on campus for about a semester or two. That way, I am away from home, but can still visit her, then later make the final move to Alaska. I am trying to get her to accept smoothly, so if anyone has any tips on how I can make it easier on both me and my mom, please let me know. I will be paying for them. My father has already reassured me that he wants nothing to do with me. Why I want to move to AK, is personal. I simply have loved it there for a very long time. It is the perfect place for me.

Engine repair denied under warranty? I've been sitting at Cummins Northwest in Anchorage, AK for 5 weeks waiting on a new engine for my motor home. They have repaired my motor home engine twice under warranty at a cost to them of $3000. Now it needs a new engine at a cost to me of $20,000. How can I prove to them that the repairs are from a self destructing engine when they want to claim it has gotten dust in it? Even their own tests showed my engine was in good shape prior to them working on it. This engine was leaking oil and they did 2 repairs before tearing the engine down and finding broken piston rings. Is this company known for denying major repairs at their cost. Could this shop be known for replacing parts, hoping you will get far enough down the road, before breaking down, and you won't return to them?

Packing for College in Alaska? I'm going to college in Anchorage AK and have no idea what i need to take, I currently live in Colorado, so can't just go home and pick up some of my stuff that i forgot. is there a list with everything i should take? and how should i pack it and take it up there, in a suitcase or something else? thanks for all the help!

How can I get my family to stop being so.... argh? Christmas break is coming up. My husband is currently stationed in Afghanistan, so I've been home alone (Colorado) with my pets since last January. My grandparents want me to fly to Alaska on December 16th and stay my entire vacation, which is an entire month. However, my husband has two weeks leave in January and we're meeting in Wisconsin where my mom and his family is located. Somehow, he's become the enemy to my grandparents and has ruined Christmas because he wants to see his mom and wants me to go to Wisconsin. I suggested that my grandparents come visit me for the holidays since they don't have pets, but they say they can't leave the house in winter. I then suggest flying from Anchorage to Chicago, but then my grandparents go on a tirade about it's so dangerous to fly or too dangerous for me to drive to the airport. I really don't know what to do without being a "bad" person. My grandparents are the ones that raised me, so I have divded loyalties. Any advice? I'd rather just worry about my finals than have to worry about family politics.

Cheapest flight from PDX,OR or SEA, WA to ANC, AK? I'm sure the title was a bit confusing, so let me elaborate. I just received a job offer at Anchorage, AK (Alaska) for summer job. I'm a student trying to enjoy the summer while earning money for another school year. I currently live in Portland (PDX), OR. I am finding few, if any, flight from PDX to ANC. It seems there are more available from Seattle, WA. I think the best option is for me to take Grayhound and spend $25 to reach Seattle, and take the plane from there. I have spent hours searching for best option. I would like to leave between 26th~30th, ealier the better. So for anyone who likes to research airfare, or has some experience doing so, it would truly help me a lot to figure out the most financially sound way to make the trip. 1) Which is cheaper, from PDX or SEA? 2) What is the cheapest rout? (One way, or round trip) 3) Would bus or ferry be possible alternative trip back home? Thank you for your time.

How much should a live in Nanny be paid?? They are close friends of mine...? I am 16 years old and this summer i flew alone from Spokane, Washington to Anchorage, Alaska to be a live in Nanny. The kids are 1 1/2 year old twins. One of which has numerous food allergies and other health problems. At the moment i am not being paid anything. I was given $20 to buy some souvenirs 2 weeks ago, but that did not last long. I am supposed to watch the kids all day, getting them up/dressed in the morning, even when both parents are home, and I am in charge of feeding them and taking them on walks. When company comes over i am apparently in charge of their kids as well. And somewhere in there i must have agreed to being the housekeeper as well (I didn't). My sister is telling me to get the hell out of here before she has to come and get me, but i am not the kind of person that could just pick up and go, especially since the father is going on a month long business trip in 2 weeks. Please help me, they want me to come back next summer as well and i don't know what to say!

What category of Hurricane would you evacuate your home in? I live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and we are supposed to get a hurricane. For me it would be 4 or 5. Category 3 or lower, you can ride that out. Category One Hurricane: Winds 74-95 mph (64-82 kt or 119-153 km/hr). Storm surge generally 4-5 ft above normal. No real damage to building structures. Damage primarily to unanchored mobile homes, shrubbery, and trees. Some damage to poorly constructed signs. Also, some coastal road flooding and minor pier damage. Hurricane Lili of 2002 made landfall on the Louisiana coast as a Category One hurricane. Hurricane Gaston of 2004 was a Category One hurricane that made landfall along the central South Carolina coast. Category Two Hurricane: Winds 96-110 mph (83-95 kt or 154-177 km/hr). Storm surge generally 6-8 feet above normal. Some roofing material, door, and window damage of buildings. Considerable damage to shrubbery and trees with some trees blown down. Considerable damage to mobile homes, poorly constructed signs, and piers. Coastal and low-lying escape routes flood 2-4 hours before arrival of the hurricane center. Small craft in unprotected anchorages break moorings. Hurricane Frances of 2004 made landfall over the southern end of Hutchinson Island, Florida as a Category Two hurricane. Hurricane Isabel of 2003 made landfall near Drum Inlet on the Outer Banks of North Carolina as a Category 2 hurricane. Category Three Hurricane: Winds 111-130 mph (96-113 kt or 178-209 km/hr). Storm surge generally 9-12 ft above normal. Some structural damage to small residences and utility buildings with a minor amount of curtainwall failures. Damage to shrubbery and trees with foliage blown off trees and large trees blown down. Mobile homes and poorly constructed signs are destroyed. Low-lying escape routes are cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the center of the hurricane. Flooding near the coast destroys smaller structures with larger structures damaged by battering from floating debris. Terrain continuously lower than 5 ft above mean sea level may be flooded inland 8 miles (13 km) or more. Evacuation of low-lying residences with several blocks of the shoreline may be required. Hurricanes Jeanne and Ivan of 2004 were Category Three hurricanes when they made landfall in Florida and in Alabama, respectively. Category Four Hurricane: Winds 131-155 mph (114-135 kt or 210-249 km/hr). Storm surge generally 13-18 ft above normal. More extensive curtainwall failures with some complete roof structure failures on small residences. Shrubs, trees, and all signs are blown down. Complete destruction of mobile homes. Extensive damage to doors and windows. Low-lying escape routes may be cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the center of the hurricane. Major damage to lower floors of structures near the shore. Terrain lower than 10 ft above sea level may be flooded requiring massive evacuation of residential areas as far inland as 6 miles (10 km). Hurricane Charley of 2004 was a Category Four hurricane made landfall in Charlotte County, Florida with winds of 150 mph. Hurricane Dennis (pdf) of 2005 struck the island of Cuba as a Category Four hurricane. Category Five Hurricane: Winds greater than 155 mph (135 kt or 249 km/hr). Storm surge generally greater than 18 ft above normal. Complete roof failure on many residences and industrial buildings. Some complete building failures with small utility buildings blown over or away. All shrubs, trees, and signs blown down. Complete destruction of mobile homes. Severe and extensive window and door damage. Low-lying escape routes are cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the center of the hurricane. Major damage to lower floors of all structures located less than 15 ft above sea level and within 500 yards of the shoreline. Massive evacuation of residential areas on low ground within 5-10 miles (8-16 km) of the shoreline may be required. Only 3 Category Five Hurricanes have made landfall in the United States since records began: The Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, Hurricane Camille (1969), and Hurricane Andrew in August, 1992. The 1935 Labor Day Hurricane struck the Florida Keys with a minimum pressure of 892 mb--the lowest pressure ever observed in the United States. Hurricane Camille struck the Mississippi Gulf Coast causing a 25-foot storm surge, which inundated Pass Christian. Hurricane Katrina (pdf), a category 5 storm over the Gulf of Mexico, was still responsible for at least 81 billion dollars of property damage when it struck the U.S. Gulf Coast as a category 3. It is by far the costliest hurricane to ever strike the United States. In addition, Hurricane Wilma (pdf) of 2005 was a Category Five hurricane at peak intensity and is the strongest Atlantic tropical cyclone on record with a minimum pressure of 882 mb.

Federal job in Alaska? I work for a local government in Maryland. I would like to get a federal job in Alaska. Being in government and having contracted in the federal government, I am unclear about where I would go for interview, if I hit the jackpot and win the interview. If work location is in Anchorage, AK, do I need to go to Anchorage for the interview, or can I be interviewed someplace near OPM in DC which is pretty close from my home state of Maryland?

Details about relocating to Alaska? My wife and I are moving to Anchorage or Fairbanks with the Army. Can anyone give me some details about what it's like to live in these 2 cities? Also, pros and cons about driving the alcan or taking the ferry (traveling from Virginia). Our main concerns are the effect the weather will have on our lives, what type of vehicle we will need, the cost of renting a 1,500 square foot home (plus utilities), and the health of our newborn son, who has delicate lungs (was a preemie). Thank you for your attention to this matter. :) My son has to drive with us, because he can't handle the altitude change for an airplane yet.

my 1990 honda civic LX will not start? I bought this civic a few weeks ago and use it to travel to work from girdwood to anchorage and when i got home last night i turned it off like i normally do and this morning it wont start. the battery is new, as are the spark plugs, and it's not a alternator problem. it's a five speed. when i try to start it it just won't catch and start but it does try. It cost a lot to tow it so I am just trying to figure out on my own what the problem could be. thanks in advance for the replies! I should also add that it has been getting bad gas mileage and it was idling high in the 1500 to 2000rpm range and in the last few days it dropped down to 1000rpm and i would have to occasionally give it gas so it would not stall out. all the lights/cd player work when the car is off. I also recently changed the oil so i don't think that is the issue either.

If You Were Poor and Cold, Would You Take? ANCHORAGE, Alaska - In Alaska's native villages, the punishing winter cold is already coming through the walls of the lightly insulated plywood homes, many of the villagers are desperately poor, & heating-oil prices are among the highest in the nation.A few villages are refusing free heating oil from Venezuela, on the patriotic principle that no foreigner has the right to call their president "the devil." Residentspay more than $5 a gallon for oil — or at least $300 a month per household — to heat their homes along the wind-swept coast of the Bering Sea, where temperatures can dip to minus-15., Over the past two years, Citgo, the Venezuelan government's Texas-based oil subsidiary, has given millions of gallons of discounted heating oil to the poor in several states and cities — including New York, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Maine — in what is widely seen as an effort by Chavez to embarrass and irritate the U.S. government and make himself look good. October 7, 2006About 150 native villages in Alaska have accepted money for heating oil from Citgo. The oil company does not operate in Alaska, so instead of sending oil, it is donating about $5.3 million to native nonprofit organizations to buy 100 gallons this winter for each of more than 12,000 households. "When you have a dire need and it is a matter of survival for your people, it doesn't matter where, what country, the gift or donation comes from," said Virginia Commack, an elder in the arctic village of Ambler, an impoverished Eskimo community of 280 where residents are paying $7.25 a gallon for fuel. Who cares where it comes from? Devil or not, if I were in dire straits I'd take this fuel. Patriotism can only go so far. I would bet Bush and his family and cronies won't freeze this winter. And I would further bet that Bush doesn't give a rats behind about these people. Those that don't take that fuel are foolish

What should I wear? I'm finally going back to California to be with my husband again. I had to stay with my mom here in Anchorage for a couple of months because she has been very ill, but now that she is feeling better, I'm going back home. I wanted to dress nice for my husband, but I want to wear clothing and accessories that would not be a hassle to me when I go through security. So any tips / suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you so much.

Alaska trip: Which campground in Denali NP? David in Kenai: please answer this if you know. I am going with my boyfriend to Alaska for 7 days leaving 22nd August and returning 29 August home. We know what we want to do; kayak or canoe in Prince William Sound, see the fjords in Kenai, flightseeing over Denali, maybe fishing one day and of course hiking. There are no available campsites at Wonder Lake, so which of the other campgrounds in Denali would you recommend? And from Anchorage do you suggest we go south first or north first? Anyone else have ideas?

Did You Stevens (R) Alaska had his home raided by the feds? The IRS and the FBI have exercised a search warrant on the home of Senator Ted Stevens in Girdwood. Anchorage Daily News: “All I can say is that agents from the FBI and IRS are currently conducting a search at that residence,” said Dave Heller, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s Anchorage office. The search began this afternoon, he said. It’s the only such search warrant currently being served, he said. He directed other questions to the U.S. Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section in Washington. A spokesman there had no comment. Federal investigators and a grand jury looking into public corruption in Alaska have been asking questions about a 2000 remodeling project at Stevens’ home, particularly the involvement of the oil field services firm Veco. You all rememeber ole' Ted right the Bridges to nowhere senator Ok let's address the right wing bullcrap one at a time Spitzer so far is NOT in big trouble it looks like aides overstepped proper bounds let's not overstep yet John B there was a typo............... is that all you have in defense of your Congressmen's position .................. well PHUCK me runnin' what a great defense How can I argue against stupidity Joby sure thers's Jefferson but what about Ney?
