Alaska Reminiscences

That's the same year I went to Alaska. But I intend to go back -- since I'm 'only' 70. (not sure that's what you meant by 'almost 80s').

By the way, how in the world did you get to Texas without going through Arkansas, Oklahoma, or New Mexico??? (just kidding, I assume your map only shows states where you actually camped)

Yep! And we are almost 79 and 80 (me), so you kids go forth!

I made a journal of our 5 week Alaskan trip and I added pieces of brochures from attractions that we visited. It's pretty big but I made it for our own future enjoyment. Our 23 year old grandson borrowed it and when he returned it, he told us it was so interesting, he could barely put it down.

Have the kids take you along. I brought my mother, she is 80, I do not think she would have drive from eastern Canada, she is very happy to have a driver.

I miss Alaska every summer. I drove from Maryland to AK in 2008. What an experience. I was able to leave my RV up there for the winter and flew back the following summer.

Not many places like Alaska. Anyone who has driven up there will appreciate that sentiment.

We DW, DDs, DGD, DGS and I have all been there but only driven once. We've flown and rented a couple times, I've been out West to refuel and the eldest DD was out west for 2.5 years of fishing seasons. I'm almost mid seventies as is DW, we really want to go back with the grandkids and drive, one going and one returning. Hard to take the two at their ages.

It is like going home everytime we're there, sort of like Hawaii. An amazing trip through untamed wilderness.

Try a Fly-Drive. Rent from Great Alaskan Holidays you won't be sorry.
