:-( When we lived in AK, we could only buy what we could take on the plane with us. They used to bolt seats into a C-130, hand out earplugs to everyone, and then take us to Anchorage for a day (or weekend) of shopping. You could bring back tires for your car or something like that, but no furniture. :-( We were limited to shopping in the Exchange and they always had the ugliest and ickiest furniture you'd ever want to see.

I greatly sympathize with your plight at this time. :-(
