Awesome, Just Awesome!

There's nothing like Alaska. I'd like to visit again. There's so much to see and do...whale watching tours where you also see puffins zipping by, sealions sunbathing, otters doing the backstroke, majestic bald eagles atop trees keeping watch....oh, and WHALES!

Cool Souvenirs

Matching boxers!

We love showing off our cool souvenir boxer shorts that we use for summer pj's! Bear Bums! Haha!

Going until there's nowhere left to go!

Glad you liked your trip to Alaska. Been here 31 years and have always meant to try RVing around the state. Who did you use and would you recommend them?

Had a great Alaska float plane flying trip in 2007-another way to get to many places without roads. Very good tip on the RV as another transportation mode.. Doug

Hey I think we got the same picture of the seals on that rock at the Resurrection bay at Kenai! Have a nice day, Norman :)
