This is the summer to come to Alaska. Book soon as trips are filling up! If you are driving to Alaska, the cost of fuel based on todays prices is about 30% higher than last year through Canada but is one of the smallest expenses on your vacation. 3000 miles at 15 miles per gallon, at $4.75 per gallon equals $950. Divide that by our average length of trip of Bells Alaska customers (60 days) and the cost is $15.83 cents per day! Less than 2 coffees and a snack at Starbucks! Come see us in the most beautiful Sate in the Union!

"Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of a readiness to die."
-G.K. Chesterton
To those who gave all, for all of us. To those we unfortunately celebrate this weekend, instead of in November. Thank you. It will never be enough, but we will never forget.
