Holland America Tour Starts Today
We end our self-directed tour of Alaska today and start our Holland America tour.  The drive to Fairbanks and visit to Gold Dredge 8 is on our part of the tour.  After panning for gold at Gold Dredge 8, I'll drop Nancy and our bags at the Westmark Fairbanks Hotel (our stay is included in the Holland America tour).  I'll then take the car back to Enterprise at the airport and pick up our Holland America tour package.  Hopefully the tour desk will get me a ride back to the Westmark.

In the picture to the right, the view is to the north.  The parking lot shown to the northwest is for long term (right end), short term (middle), and rental car parking (left end).  The rental car parking is on the southwest end of the lot.  After parking the car, go into the terminal bag claim area.  The crosswalk from the parking area leads to the baggage claim area.  The tour desk is on the northwest wall which is where the Holland America tour information package will be.
