Newhalen Lodge Anchorage

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.

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.

... back slowly, never look at him in the face and never run; if you did, you would become a potential prey! I was never confronted with such a situation even though I saw a great number of grizzlies fishing in the lakes and in Brooks River.

You need to take the local bus and travel along the 37-kilometre dirt road to reach the Valley of the Ten Thousand Smokes. The landscape is gorgeous. In September ...

... when the good Lord rearranges your schedule. Such is the current case. Our plans to travel to Soldotna were altered when Lois’ mother, who lives in Dallas, became seriously ill. Bill stayed behind and suggested we still visit, with the proviso that he, too, might have to leave if Lois’ mom gets worse. Now girls, I’m sure you can relate here…..staying with two guys who will spend most of the daylight hours fishing (in Alaska ...

There's not too much going on in the Alaska airport. We were there at 2:30AM, so that might have something to dowith it. At the one airport store that was open, you could buy smoked salmon, gummy bears, chocolate, or a mink vest. Ok, only 16 more hours until Manila.

... But on the other hand, we don't have our own place and jobs that we can just go hog wild with every little thing that we missed. We don't have to get up and wonder where we are going today and how we are to get there. But we still have things to get done. Our days were so full that now we have a warped sense of time. "That lady still hasn't called you back, aren't you ...

... smell anywhere now---surprise boxes. I don't think I will ever have another ramen or cup of noodles as long as I live. But here, now, trapped in a closed environment, I am surrounded by them and the smell makes me swoon. Blek! At least they didn't also come for breakfast. Not soon enough we land on the ground in San Francisco and have to collect our bags for customs. The guy checks our forms. "How long have you been out of the country?" (monotone): "over 8 months" What??!@#%@# he ...

... learned the lesson well in Fairbanks, I have made the University of Alaska - Anchorage my headquarters or "office". The student center has a pleasant working environment with unlimited wireless. The student milieu is interesting and reminds me of my own university days. The social interaction between the students seems to be the best part of university life. However, as I see most of them struggling with their maths and sciences I have no desire to revisit those ...

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