So, to start off, it has been a little longer than I thought since I last posted. Sorry about that. We have stayed in a few places that claimed to have internet but didn’t really, a few that didn’t claim it and a few that were so far away from anything we were happy that …
Today we drove from Anchorage down to Homer and then on to Seward. It was sort of rainy and windy most of the day. We saw the water down there and took a few pictures. It was a lot of driving and not a lot of stopping to tell you the truth. Here are some …
So, not a lot to write about. Everything that we tried to go see today was closed. Either for the season or for a special event. The one thing that I was really looking forward to was going to the Botanical gardens and they were closed for a big thing for the United Way volunteers. …
Today we took a 12 hour tour of Denali National Park in which resides Mt. McKinley, the 2nd tallest mountain in the world. Since it is doubtful (at this point in time at least) that I will ever see Everest, this is a pretty big deal for me. And see it we did! The mountain …
So, not a lot to write about for today. We slept-in (well, as sleeping-in as my mother can which is about 7am) and checked-out of our hotel. The drive down to Denali is relatively short only a 100+ scenic miles. We then found out where our bus tour leaves tomorrow and went shopping in, what …
So, I cannot tell you hour by hour what I did today. However, I will tell you that it was a cultural experience on par with visiting Morocco. Ok, I just want to start off by saying that I officially have a crush on the village of Barrow and would love to try to live …
6:30am Awake. I swear that mom is somehow hooked-up to some sort of satellite that the atomic clocks use so that she always wakes up at 6:30am no matter the time zone. 7:00am Trying to pack my purse for the day with various large camera lenses and camera and lace knitting. I know, what a …
6:30am Good Morning! 7:00am Family is up and ready to go to breakfast. 7:30am Breakfast with our wonderful Swiss B&B hosts. 8:00am Checked out the signpost forest across the road from the gas station that we filled-up the car at. 8:15am On the road again still heading NW. 9:30am Stop at a spot …
5:00am Wake up 5:30am Breakfast at the hotel. 6:00am On the road, driving. 11:30am Lunch at A&W. Yummy. 12:00pm On the road, driving, still. 6:00pm Arrived in Watson Lake, Yukon Territory. 6:30pm Found a really kick-ass B&B cottage place to stay called Stampeders. Would totally suggest this place to anyone coming this way. 6:45pm Had a …
8:00 am The sun is up in the sky over Central Minnesota. We left this morning even earlier than planned as my parents woke up and subsequently awoke me as well. Since we were all up at the absolutely ungodly hour of 2:55 we decided that it we had just as well get on the …
