We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

... dealer and and an opera season, but I know from working in a bank, that the guy who just closed the monster business loan drives an old truck and wears jeans,like me. I like that. <br><br>I'm new to this, but I'm supposing readers are people like me. People with itchy feet. Bilbo Baggins loved his home, but finally he closed the big round green door to his home, and went. Simple as that. I plan to write next about Sarah Palin Country. No politics involved. Bye now.<br><br><br><br>

... a haircut. Jean, our Wagonmistress, went along with me to the Fifth Street Mall in downtown Anchorage. We went to the JC Penney salon since Jean's hairdresser at home said that it was a safe place to count on when traveling out-of-town. I like Jean very much. She is one of those people who I was instantly drawn to - friendly and "real." I feel like as if I have known her for years. <br><br>We both got a trim, plus I got a pedicure and Jean got a manicure and ...

... get a picture. From there we made our way back to Cordova Street where the race runs along the Days Inn where we were staying. We watched from the street through the first forty seven mushers, then went up to our room where we looked down on the passing mushers. After the last mushers passed, we joined the Zirkles and rode to Earthquake Park for a good view of Mt. Susitna, The Sleeping Lady, and a faint view of Mt. McKinley over 200 miles away. We also ...

... scramble up the scree and rock strewn ridge to the top. Sure enough, as tough as the trail is, locals bring their parents, pets and even three and four year old kids up the trail - I guess it proves you have to be tough to live in Alaska. On the last night of the conference, the group went out for Karaoke (again at the Blue Fox) and stayed out late. Tomorrow we head north, to Denali National Park.

... was called Falafel King and it was owned by an Israeli family. Another great place and very small. After lunch we drove about 15 miles north of town to Eagle River, where there is this small visitors center in the middle of the Chugach Mountains. Right next to Anchorage is this mountain chain that could be anywhere in the Rockies' - so that is small by Alaska standards, but big by Georgia standards. We took this 3 mile trail with the dogs through some forest ...

... whale watching on a boat ride or kayak. You might also see other nautical creatures such as sea otters and sea lions. You'll also find the Alaska SeaLife Center in Seaward, as well as the many art galleries you can get souvenirs from.

On our last day, back in Anchorage, we took a tour around the city,<br>rented a car and drove along the seward scenic hwy, visiting the Alaska<br>Wildlife Conservation Center. This is a wildlife refuge for the animals<br>native to alaska that for one reason or another cannot be returned to<br>the wild, so they make this their home. I have to say this ...

... trail was his. Andres stopped as I waved to him. We pulled out cameras and began to snap away. Another cyclist came around the corner, took one look at our cameras and said, 'You guys aren't from here.' It wasn't a question. 'No,' we replied. 'Where are you from?' 'Bogata.' 'Boston.' 'Cool,' he said and gave the moose a brief glance. 'Well be careful. They really are dangerous, and fast. Don't get any closer. There's a little path through the woods back here when you've seen ...

... She loves me like a mother should like a daughter, and I love her the same way. But I still know that my real mom is in my heart somewhere.<br>I found this out a few days ago, actually. I always thought my step-mom was my real mom until I asked on my 15th birthday.<br><br>Write again tomorrow.<br><br>Lovegossip909<br>
