Hi, glad to hear that there is plenty of time to pass on some info for you. Driving from Anchorage to Homer takes about 5 hours and only about half that to Seward but Jean, my sister, and I both think it is really worth the extra drive time. The drive itself is beautiful and at Homer you can drive on out the 5 mile long road on a natural sand spit. There is a small hotel at the end of the spit called Land's End. You can get a room with an unbelievable view and close enough to throw a rock into the water. The website lands-end-resort has lousy pictures of the hotel and area but the room listed as Midship Bay Side gives you a good idea as well as the picture titled State Ferry Tustamena shows a good view from the bay side of the hotel. I don't have enough time right now to do more research but I did just find an org website for Homer Alaska Chamber of Commerce listed as homeralaska and the picture on the home page shows the spit - - the hotel is of course at the far end. It looks like it might be a good website. Let me know more of what else you are doing while in Alaska and also how limited you are to walking or getting around. There are other possibilities like a boat tour out of Seward, etc. Hope this helps. Lana
