By now, I have told this story more than once. I’ve told it repeatedly all week. Will probably do so for a few more weeks. I was asked recently, which ones were must-see and which were ones I’ll probably not return to (for vacation). For me, my must-see […]
My lifelong trip goal of going to Alaska has come and gone. And, the trip was wonderful. While,the travel itself was tedious at best. A delayed red-eye flight is no fun. However, because of the delayed red-eye flight, I got a chance to catch an awesome, inspiring, fiery […]

I remember watching the television show of Northern Exposure. I don’t remember any of the episodes, honestly. But, I’m currently in a bar in the town of Talkeetna listening to the Cure and Queen’s Radio Ga Ga feeling at home. But also feeling like I’m in a time […]
Oh, what fun it is to ride on a dogsledding team. I love dogs. I’m not too keen on snow. I hate the snow. But, dogsledding in December in Alaska has been a dream. Here’s to another checked off my list of things to get done in life. […]
