The to do list is still rather long, but last week we got our visas for the USA, so now there’s no rush to see it all in 90 days.
This week we booked our flights to Alaska.
Now we just need to find a long-term cat-sitter…

One of the best things about Alaska is how convenient all the glaciers are. Sure there are plenty of inaccessible ones, and thousands we would never see without a plane and a lot of time on our hands, but the fact is, there are some that are downright easy to get to.
After travelling around Alaska for a few weeks, we have to report that we became so jaded about glaciers that we stopped bothering to do all the walks to go look at them. To understand how people can become so blasé about such incredible ancient rivers of ice so quickly, perhaps we should share some of the glacier-related highlights of Alaska. Here’s our top three.
(more…)We can’t by any means claim to be experts on small town Alaska, we’ve only visited a few. But the ones we have visited have all been pretty unique and fun. Three of our favourites in the Alaska so far have been Hope, Whittier and Kennecott. Kennecott will be the subject of its very own blog post due to the large quantity of accompanying photographs that it will involve. But for now, allow us to familiarise you with the two very different towns of Hope and Whittier.

Whoo hoo! Good work on the visas, must be a relief. And a big “to do” check mark!
Yes, one thing (of many) of the list. Now to finish some more of the renovations…
Another step closer to the dream. I bet you’re getting quite excited.
Actually had to make up a new word to describe our state of mind. Went with excitified. (Describes being somewhere on the spectrum between excited and terrified!) 🙂
