On January 11th we experienced a 1st Alaska Tour that was sensational. We were told to be ready at 9:30pm and the van pulled up to our hotel at exactly 9:30pm. Our driver, Jack, was friendly and informative. When we arrived at the yurt, the walk from the van to the door was short and well defined with handrails. The yurt was warm and we watched as another two people returned from a dog mushing outing to join us for the dinner and Aurora viewing. Peggy, who prepared and served the meal was delightful. The meal was Very Very Good! My husband has salmon and I had a pasta dish. Both were flavorful and the asparagus perfectly cooked. We didn't have room for the pecan pie and ice cream...the other party told us it was delicious.
The lights were turned off in the yurt and we watched as the Aurora danced. At 2:00am Jack took us back to our hotel. This is a night I will always remember.
