Two nights in Anchorage, two nights in Denali NP, one night in Fairbanks, one night Coldfoot (Dalton Hightway), one night Prudhoe Bay (beginning of pipeline). I am in love. But, since I spend winters in FL, I probably wouldn't do well in the winter, but I'm going to do my best to get back there in the summer. North of the Arctic Circle it was daylight all night long and we had to cover the windows where the drapes gaped (with our heavy coats) in order to sleep. The most beautiful area I've seen in my 69 years, and I've been in many places in this world. How glad I am we have this as part of our country. Oh yes, thanks for the purse pattern.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-62309101648075819952007-07-02T15:13:00.000-08:002007-07-02T15:13:00.000-08:00You know, when you live in a warm weather climate ...You know, when you live in a warm weather climate all year, you take many things for granted.

To me, Alaska has always been a rather exotic place or a place people from the lower 48 run away to to escape. Nice to know real families and people live their too.
