My first trip to Alaska was to complete 13.1 miles in the Mayor's Midnight Sun Mmarathon. I absolutely fell in LOVE with Alaska! Before the race I took a float plane tour of the Anchorage area and then a car trip to Fairbanks and points east and north of there. 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!

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
