Alaska Bound

Today we cross the Canadian border and head to Alaska where we will spend the summer! We have been planning and preparing for this portion of our RV trip for the past year. I’m not sure how often we’ll be able to keep y’all updated on our trip. We’ve heard from several people that wifi throughout Canada and Alaska can be a bit dodgy and sometimes it’s just not there at all. We’ll post as often as possible though and do our best to keep y’all up to date with our adventures! It’s easier to do quick posts to Instagram and Twitter so those places will be the best place to keep up with us. If you’re not following us there, head on over and follow us!! You can follow the links in this post or go to our blog and there will be a button to follow us on the right hand side.

We each have our own must see list when it comes to Alaska. Personally, the things I’m looking forward to are the mountains, the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog stuff, and seeing glaciers.  Nicholas, of course, is looking for a pizza place, getting more Junior Ranger Badges, and seeing a bear…from a distance. Alexander is looking forward to fishing, looking for wildlife and getting another Junior Ranger badge. Charles is wanting to fish (so he can eat fresh salmon), trying reindeer sausage, and having Alaskan King Crab. Notice his is all about food. He’s fourteen. He’ll actually turn fifteen while we’re in Alaska! Jerl is looking forward to the scenery, smoking some salmon, and the wildlife. We have a list of all of the wildlife we’ve seen.

Y’all know I’m a planner. I’ve been planning Alaska for over a year now. We’ve plotted our course to Alaska, in Alaska, and back from Alaska. Here’s what it looks like.

The plan is to take one course up and take a different course back so we can see as many different areas of Canada as we can. The little blue squares indicate something to do or see, the tents indicate a place to stay, the fork and knife are places to eat we don’t want to miss, and the suns mean there’s a day trip there. While we have a list of what we want to do or see, it’s forever changing. We find new things or someone tells of a “must see” place and that’s awesome! We love insider’s tips so if y’all have one let us know!!

See y’all down the road!
