I was talking with a friend about going to Alaska a few years ago. It was something on my 'bucket list' after I retired. The price of fuel was going up and I was starting to question if I should go or not.
We spent 5 months in AK in '08. If you recall, fuel was at its highest point ever, before or since. $5+/US gal in AK and upper $4's through Canada. We watched bears fishing for salmon and a mom and 2 cubs walk through our site.
We are FAR from upper income people, but we made it happen. Would we do it again with the same circumstances? H*** yes!
