I met some wonderful people while I was there and became determined to return the following year.I returned home to Florida trained for eight months then completed my first and only marathon in Anchorage. During that trip I spent several days by auto and train in south western Alaska. That will be four years in June. I plan to retire in two more years and believe me I plan to see a lot more of Alaska!! I LOVE IT!

I was in Anchorage alaska Dec 2007 on a personal 4 days retreat to get away from all the stress of school work and everything in new york. The days I spent here really gave me the chance to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. It also gave me the chance to think about how beautiful this planet is and everything we have to be thankful for. It was a wonderful experience that i would recommend to anyone. This christmas it will be Barrow Alaska!... More
