Affordable places to stay in or near Anchorage, Alaska?
I am going to be traveling to Anchorage in the beginning of September and have been looking for places to stay and everything that I have been finding has seemed extremely expensive. Does anyone out there know of someplace in or near Anchorage that is reasonably priced?? And if you know of some places or areas that I wouldn't want a place to stay at please let me know that to. Thanks in advance!!!

Super 8 motel in Anchorage.
2 :
Google "youth hostel anchorage" and 10 different hostels pop up. We have a different au pair living with us each year and several of them have used the youth hostels when they take a trip to Anchorage. Probably your cheapest option (other than camping) if you're a tourist here or while looking for a place to rent long-term. You don't have to be a student or a youth to stay. Just willing to share a same-sex room with 4-6 people. With showers down the hall. Hotels along Spenard (fairly close to the airport) tend to be older, cheaper, and sometimes seedier than ones downtown or mid-town. Friends have had good luck with priceline.com if they ask for about $90 rooms during the summer, $55 or so in winter. Beginning of September is very much shoulder season. Things are tapering off, but we're over the peak season of June-July-August. Willing to pay more, and I like the Voyager downtown. mini-kitchens in the rooms, with dishes, big rooms, friendly. Convenient downtown location. A lot of Alaskans use them when they have to be in Anchorage. Not cheap, but not more expensive then anyone else, either. They drop their rates a lot in winter.

Is there a ferry that runs from Anchorage to Cordova?
I'm going to travel to Alaska next month. I've found that the cheapest way to get from Anchorage to Cordova is by ferry. But I didn't find any information about ferry schedule. I'll appreciate for any help.

Simply google "Alaska Marine Highway" and you will find the ferry schedule. You need to sign up and pay for your Cordova trip asap! That ferry is not run very often and it books up early!! The ferry does not go from Anchorage to Cordova. It leaves from Seward - about a 2 hour drive from Anchorage.

About Is it safe for my dog to travel in the cargo area of the plane
Is it safe for my dog to travel in the cargo area of the plane?
I'm flying from Phoenix to Anchorage on Friday for 2 weeks to visit my mom. I'm EXTREMELY worried about taking my Labrador, Toby. I really want him to come with me, but I am not willing to expose him to any type of danger. Has anyone had any experiences with having their pets travel in cargo? I'm worried about the temperatures, and whether he will be stressed or could get hurt. I will give best answer. Thanks!

There is no reason for you to take your dog for that sort of time. You should leave him at home with a friend or in a kennel. There's no reason to take the risk.
2 :
The airlines will only allow dogs to be shipped if the temperatures are within an acceptable range. Check with the airlines for what those figures are. As for any stress, they quickly get over it unless the dog is very high anxiety to start with.
3 :
That's how ALL animals travel.

It should be fine. Airlines are used to dealing with animals. When we moved from Japan to the United States we brought our dog with us and she did just fine down in the cargo area for the 10+ hour flight. If you dog has all of it's shots he should be fine
5 :
Vist you local vet to get some stress pills. Make sure you dog is comfee and relaxed. Give your dog the stress pills and Toby should be fine. Good luck! :)

Do you mean from the city of Seward (Alaska) to Anchorage? They are not that far apart by Alaska standards, maybe 120 miles. Figure on $30 or so for a bus or up to $100 for a cab. There's good roads all the way but you never know what kind of weather you'll get this time of year. There are a couple of places between Seward and Anchorage that get blasted with snow in the winter.

What sights/tourist activities are available in Anchorage, Alaska and the surrounding area in October?
My dad and I are traveling up to Anchorage this weekend and are looking for some things to do. We're planning on visiting Chugach State Park to do some hiking, but we're wondering if anything else is open? Any fishing tours, cruises or other fun things to see and experience?

Most cruises here end early September. If you're into hiking, there's a lot to see at Chugach State Park. There, you'll find Flat top which is Alaska's most visited peak. Once you get to the top, there's a view that you'll surely enjoy. (http://alaska.org/anchorage/parks-and-trails.jsp) There are museums downtown as well where you can learn about the history and wildlife. I can't really think of anything for the month of October. If you visit again, be sure to come during the summer. You can go whitewater rafting at Six Mile Creek, which is VERY adventurous and exhilarating! Go to this website--it's a much better source than I am! http://www.travelalaska.com/
