Trip Update

I am so excited to tell everyone that my sister, Jessica and her great friend Stephanie are coming to Alaska for a week. We have changed our plans a little bit because they don't have as much time as I do. We will be meeting in Anchorage, taking the train to Seward, going on a whale watching, wildlife, glacier boat ride in the Kenai Fjords National Park, and go to the Sealife Center. I did this two years ago with friends who came to visit me also. I'm a little disappointed that we can't do something else but I am glad to spend time with them and share something with them that I already did.

We will then take the train back to Anchorage and fly to Fairbanks. There we will whitewater raft, visit Cheena Hotsprings, take a boat tour of a sled dog musher's place (Susan Butcher), and visit an Athabascan village. We will also visit the UAF museum where the Musk Ox farm is, go to the Salmon Bake, doctor appointments, grocery shop.

I may go to Valdez but we will see. I am a little disappointed that I will not get to do the 27 marathon hike. Maybe I can still find someone go with me.

I also had a long lost friend tell me that she has a friend who probably would love to take care of Berry in Fairbanks. I will check to see if Nome has a kennel first and then try Anchorage.

Can't wait to tell you all about it.
