I’m in Anchorage for business, finally meeting our clients in person. I’m certainly not the only one exploring this beautiful “Last Frontier state” this peak season. I’ve been here for a little over 12 hours, and I’ve already got a few favorites.
ANC is a beautiful airport. Did you know you can enjoy the most beautiful parts of Alaska by train?
You know I love a walkable city with bike paths. I got in in the evening and got to see the downtown area after my dinner walk. You can find the likeness of Captain Cook all over the city. Get yourself reindeer hot dogs, yak burger, buffalo meatloaf and all the seafood deliciousness you’ve dreamt ever of. I did not eat all those for dinner!
I did make my way to one of the best views of the water, 49th State Brewing – Anchorage. What an awesome place to just enjoy the perfect July weather. You really can’t go wrong with anything you get on the menu. There’s something for everyone. I enjoyed a halibut fish & chips because I love seafood. This place got its start out in Denali; so if you stop by the gift shop, you’ll get a nice little story about the experience up there in case you make your way there.
Halibut Fish & Chips. I drowned mine in malt vinegar, yum!
I always love finding a good sour. This is their Pog Sour. Serious taste of Hawaii with its tropical fruit.

I continued on my seafood tasting journey by having a crab meat omelet the next morning at one of the most popular places in downtown Anchorage, Snow City Cafe. No matter the time during peak season, there is always a crowd. This is another eatery where regardless of whether you go with a savory meal or a sweet one, you are going to have yourself a delectable time.

More to come on the remainder of my time here!

We headed to The Langham Huntington, Pasadena for the 20th anniversary of the GT Tested Reader Survey awards, which meant a jam-packed trip, but I managed to carve a little time out of our busy schedule to visit Chuan Spa at the hotel.

In many cases, less can be more in terms of what smaller cities and small-scale museums have to offer. This is true for Fukui Prefecture, located on the west coast of the main island and best known for its coastline, terrain and quiet towns. While major cities are awash with large-scale museums, bucolic Fukui Prefecture is worth a visit for its assemblage of institutions offering a deeper dive into Japanese life, history and culture.

Come Face-to-Face with Mountain Gorillas on a Trek in Uganda
Not a word was spoken as I settled into a cozy spot on the outdoor terrace just outside the main lodge at Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge in Uganda. The air was so still the ice in my single malt seemed to echo off the forest in the distance as it clanked against the glass. I sat among a handful of fellow adventurers, each sitting silently beneath the night sky for one collective goal. Moments earlier, we learned a troop of mountain gorillas had made their way down the mountain near our lodge, and we left our meals to instead sit in eager anticipation of hearing the guttural grunts of the primates below. The chills on my arms never left me that night, even as I made my way up a stone pathway to my personal banda (guestroom). Thankfully, sleep came quickly for me that night as I drifted into dreams of what my next day would bring.
