... traveling. In stores, people look you in the eye like maybe they know you from somewhere. Drivers are rude, like anywhere, but not always. Anchorage citizens are friendlier, freer, feistier. You can't tell who has the money.No one cares who your daddy is. Well, maybe that's changing a bit. But since we became a state in 1959, where's the status? "Hey my family has been in Alaska since 1959?" Don't think so. Some people are starting to show their money. There is a big ...

... the bears (most of them are brown bears or grizzlies) can get all the food they need before hibernating in the mountains. You have to be very careful when visiting the region because bears are everywhere and you may meet them at any moment! As soon as you arrive at Brooks Lodge, the rangers tell you what to do – and not to do! – if you happen to encounter a bear: you should talk to him while ...

ANCHORAGE VISIT

Things Change

No matter how many advance plans you make for a trip, there are always things that change. You plan to stay only one or two days at a spot and then decide more are needed. You meet someone on the road who asks if you've been to a certain spot and when you tell them "no", they insist you “have” to go there….so you do. If you’re not flexible, then don’t travel. Then there are ...

... laughing today! Somehow, I doubt these Cordova guys (think the beautiful people) would never have noticed me at home, let alone been convinced by my hippy dress that I would know where to find some smoke. Mmmm, yep, def put a smile on my face -- thanks, boys! India darlin' -- here I come!! Namaste my friends! Next post will be from New Delhi, India, Gods willing :D We depart Anchorage Wednesday morning at 11:30 a.m. and its on, baby!! Cindy

... how good they are to me, was not in my career plan. Other than stopping through for a few days or visiting, I haven't stayed with my own family since I was a sophomore in college. Let me tell you, it is an adjustment. Pretty much coming back in general is an adjustment. We don't have to live out of a bag, wear the same clothes for 3 days or make do with what we have ...

... sleep. Watch the movie. Can't, jumpy boy is all over the seat with a giant orb of cranium blocking my view no matter how I sit. His parents are checked out. You can almost here them say, "whatever, he isn't making any noise". Speaking of noise, the pillow therapy must have worked on that tantrum back there. In between movies the plane flying over the map of the globe pops up to taunt us. I think the clock is slow. As my feet swell, the evening snack comes along. I can recognize ...

... that could handle my technical needs. The Sony VGN-CR123E/B is priced at 999$ U.S. which is apparently quite a lap top at a great price. It is inviting because there is no sales tax of any kind in Alaska and the exchange on the U.S. dollar has not been this good in a long time. The sticking point is the warranty so I think I will go with Dell. I am reminded that Anchorage is in Alaska by the looming Chugach Mountains which can be seen just east of downtown ...

... the
highlight of our trip, there many animals here to see in their natural
habitat (not like a zoo) and all the proceeds from the admission ticket
and gift shop purchases go to taking care of them. I even got to feed a
deer. My alaska trip was amazing and I look forward to the day that I
can revisit this beautiful state of wilderness.

... gate bridge, etc, etc. Saturday is going to be the big day, check out of the hotel, and head to Half Moon Bay for Jason's and Irene's wedding (Congrats you two! Have fun in Mexico!). Then off to the airport by 10pm. Get into Bangkok at 11am Monday November 1st. Mike, a guy I work with in Fairbanks, friend Chaiyut is picking me up at the Airport and ...
