North to the future...

The state motto of Alaska is "North to the Future" - and in our immediate future (late July) is a trip to the "Last Frontier" - which is the state nickname.

We will be taking a cruise north and then an extended land tour.

We are traveling with 4 other couples; some of us are from town here so we had a planning meal together to discuss our travel hopes and dreams!


Hopefully we will figure out all the details... what to pack, what NOT to pack..., just what is "smart casual" anyway? (The dress code on the ship for meals is either "formal" or "smart casual"...) ... ah... north to the future!

Last night was wonderful and the food was the best! I have been studying our land excusions and have signed us up for the all day
Mendenhall glacier hike, the rainforest canopy and zipline expedition and last but not least a remote beach hike and camping trip with the grizzly bears in Ketchikan. We are so use to challenging ourselves by getting out of our comfort zones that this should be a piece of cake!

Alaksa here we come!
