Good afternoon, readers,
My wife and I will be PCSing to JBER in June. I grew up in WA state so I am somewhat used to colder climate, and love being outdoors. My wife has grown up in LA and SD, and is somewhat apprehensive about the cold and darker winters. Especially the sun cycles. As we are moving up, can I get some tips and tricks from locals or those who have been before?
- What truck is best? We are shipping my wife's Toyota Highlander, and I will need a car.
- What are some fun things to do in Anchorage specifically?
- Best restaurants price wise and bang for buck?
- Are there coastal trails?
- What are the places to stay away from? Or at least exercise higher caution while walking around?
- Best Internet? (I've seen GCI for total coverage, but they're a mess to work with supposedly).
- Best places to purchase clothing? (Winter, outdoors, etc).
- Best way to meet new people? My wife and I are in our mid 20s.
Thank you very much for your time, consideration, and answers!
