  UNDER CONSTRUCTION Our AA flight to Anchorage was quite pleasant actually...! I had the opportunity of sitting next to two ladies in their 80s but very young and vibrant and very lovable. Our landing itself was amazing.... so green and so untouched. I knew I'd like this place.

     In August of 2007 I finished the basic course in Merchant Marine Training in Maryland. My next step was to get some sea time. I was scheduled to go out on an at least 120 day sailing with any shipping company that had an opening. The problem was the Coast Guard was undergoi…

These are other pictures I picked up along the way.  Alaska is such a beautiful state and none of these pictures I took can possibly do it justice.  I feel extrememly fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel this state over a summer.  From Juneau to Anchorage, Fairbanks to Hom…

Two summers ago me and my family rented a RV and drove through and around Alaska for two weeks. We went everywhere from Anchorage, Seward,Fairbanks,Denali, and even got a chance to go up to Barrow, the northen most point in the US. This was the best vacation that I've been on so far! Meeting different people and staying in unique places, I love it.

A day for lazing around, swimming, filling out the travel diary and chatting to many different people.  Although it is good to be in a port and get out to do and see things, a day to relax is not such a bad thing.  We went up to the room that was normaly used as the 'nightclub'. …

The trip back to Anchorage we stopped just for an hour at Denali National Park, next trip I will spend some time here,  North America’s tallest mountain Denali.  Then back to the airport and fly to Chicago.  Added photos of post cards i got while there too.

Welcome!! Join me in my travels!

When you're on a trip, you no longer have to think about making reservations or planning for this and that. Instead, you think about food. On the ferry back from Haida Gwaii we had french fries and gravy. And the chocolate milk. Who can forget that. In Prince Rupert we went straight for breakfast a…

This was a pretty interesting hike since i went with my aunt and a bunch of her girl friends! the view was outstanding and the company was fun. I had wayyyyyyy too much fun taking pictures and was really hoping that i would get to see a bear nibbling on the berry bushes that were all over the place…

It had to be done. ROAD TRIP. One of those I can't afford to take off (financially) but then again I can't afford not to (emotionally). 300 miles south to Talkeetna was my destination! I started my trip at 2am, cause I wanted to get to a place to take some pictures of Denali at sunrise. I knew it was gonna be a grand trip as as I was loading my car the northern lights where firing off. I arrived at the Alaska Veterans Memorial wayside area around 6:30, a little nap then took alot of pics

Well, what else do you do beside post some pictures on a Saturday night when you are doing laundry. So here are some pics from outside of North Pole at a place called Chena Flood Plains. It's also the place where I took some of the moon pictures I posted in the North Pole/Fairbanks bloggy..

We spent 10 days in Alaska exploring Denali National Park and fishing in the Kenai Penninsula.

    We have a group of 7.  My wife and myself, taking her two parents, an aunt and uncle and grandfather.  I have been to Alaska 4 times before but it is their first time.  It has been a goal of theirs and the idea of going on a big anniversary.  Well that was a …

After returning from a long memorial day weekend in Anchorage with my best friend from high school (and flight attendant extrordinaire!) JoAnn, I was invited to participate as a Resident Director on the January 2009 Voyage of Semester at Sea.  I am thrilled to have such an opportunity.  T…

Day 3, 7-23-07:  “If the bear begins to feed on you….”               That morning, I was very glad I had drunk water before going to sleep the night before.  Even still, I was a little dehydrated.  But it wasn’t go…
