We asked our Twitter followers “Where do you go when you first get to the AK?” and here are a couple of our favorite responses:

Liz Young said “Creature Comforts for some caffeine and then to Kilmanjaro Safari! Or at least that’s what we did this morning!”

And Landon Doane said, “Nomad Lounge – gotta get some ribs!” We can’t argue with that logic! ;-D
