A-L-A-S-K-A !!!!!
Duchess and I have made it official.....2008 is the "Year of Alaska!"
Actually, we are following the same basic theory we used when we bought our 27 foot flybridge sportfisher "Reality", a number of years ago....."We are now physically capable....in a year, two, or three we may not be......" & Thus ALASKA (at the expense of a year's delay in our tour of the beloved German wine country!)
I am already into the planning, though we'll probably not leave til late May from Tampa....
Current plans.....trip from Tampa to Seattle.....
West route trip from Seattle to Prince George to Dawson Creek.
Alaska Highway to Tok, then the Tok cutoff to Anchorage....then to the Kenai Peninsula, and North to Fairbanks, and a visit to Chena Hot Springs.
Our return will involve a trip down the Cassier Highway, and then through Calgary and South to Great Falls, WY.
Gotta plan folks....we'll see! Oh, and there will be FISH caught, frozen and sent home for our later use......Loves the fishes of various places. (Check back to our last Summer tour of the UP & Mackinaw City and the fish we bought/ate there!)
