So we are about to go to Alaska for the summer and friends keep asking...you are going to blog about it, aren't you? My answer is, well..... then I started thinking about it. I have wanted to write a blog for several years but have never felt I had the time to devote to it. My business keeps me VERY busy. But, we have been preparing for this special trip to Alaska for two years and I think the time is right. We have been to Alaska 3 times before. Our first, in 2002, was a 2 week trip on a Princess Cruisetour. We flew to Fairbanks and then spent a week in the interior of Alaska, seeing it by airplane, motorcoach, speedboat, tourboat, riverboat and the Alaska Railroad.
Then we boarded the Star Princess for a one week Gulf of Alaska and Inside Passage Cruise. We were hooked! We returned for 5 months in our 40 ft 5th wheel and MDT in 2006, our Allegro Bus for 3 months in 2009 and now, in "Stubby," for 4 months in 2014. Stubby is the name of our tiny Class C. It is a 2005 Itasca Cambria. Why so small? We want to be able to see more of the "real" Alaska. The places that have few or no RV parks. The tiny villages, lakes, forests, and the islands, by Alaska Ferry, of Southeast Alaska. Charles will fish to his heart's content and I will fish some too and take LOTS of pictures! We are stoked!
Come along with us as "our adventure continues." Launch date: May 19. 2014. Charles' 70th birthday.
What a celebration!
Sounds like lots of fun. We'll enjoy reading your blog.

ReplyDeleteI am enjoying it so far! Thanks, Jan!
DeleteLooking forward to reading what you are doing in Alaska. Our paths just might cross. There are some fish up there with Tom's name on them too! Save a few for him!
ReplyDeleteYou will have a great time.
ReplyDeleteLooks like I will be adding another BLOG account to my list of RVers. I can't wait to read about your travels.

ReplyDeleteStubby should do you well. Looking to add you to my blog list. I started my blog in 2011 as we prepped to head for AK. You can read it in the archives at coolrvers. blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip!
Bring lots of bug repellant, take lots of pictures and be blessed. Looking forward to the blog and pictures.
ReplyDeleteWe are headed for Alaska this summer also. What's your itinerary? We'll be reaching Dawson Creek on the 11th of June. I was hoping we'd run into you so we can discuss our insurance situation. 8^)
ReplyDeleteI rode my Honda Gold Wing motorcycle to Alaska in 2010. It was a bucket list item and one of my greatest travel adventures I have ever encountered. As I rode out of Dawson Creek, on a sunny morning with motorcyclist and RV'er all heading in the same adventurous journey direction traveling to the Alaska state line and beyond.
ReplyDeleteAfter two days of riding I new I would return buy RV just to take in all of the beauty the journey offered.
I wish you two all the fun in the world on another great Alaska adventure.
