T minus one week until we leave for our Alaska Adventure. Beth and I are getting ready by booking our excursions (ziplining, float trips, ATV expeditions, etc), and my parents are getting ready by my dad having an appendectomy.
I wasn't going to post quite this early on the blog, but Mike somehow stumbled across it, so I figured I would get it going sooner rather than later.
The postings may be a bit slim for the first week of the trip, as I've heard on-ship internet access is incredibly slow. I'll try to stop in to some libraries when we're on shore to update you on our adventures and reassure everyone that we haven't been eaten by a bear or drowned by a whale.
If anyone has any suggestions for Vancouver or Alaska, please let me know. We've got 3 weeks of sightseeing, hiking, rafting, and float-planing ahead of us, and we want to make the most of it! (A somewhat detailed itinerary can be accessed by clicking on the map - I can't figure out how to make the google map appear on the blog itself (I keep getting errors), but click through the other Alaska map to get to it)
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my flights will be much less dramatic than my last trip to Colorado (stupid Midwestern storms!).
Brian, you've set a high standard in trip-blogging. I'll have to see if I can even come close to measuring up (for those who haven't seen his Transam Shazam blog detailing his adventures biking across the US, the link is in my favorite links/blogs section).
Mala, I'll see you in Vancouver in a week!

Hooray! -- Emily
I'll be waiting with baited breath for your posts! I am definitely going to be vicariously living through you...
The blog looks awesome... and you have made it to 38 states! WOW! I am jealous! (I am only at about 35 or so...) You will have a blast - make sure to test out the nine thousand variations of salmon - trust me, you will like at least one!
I promise I will try some salmon while I'm there. When in Rome...
Ziplining, rafting, and float-planing (I don't even know what that is but it sounds exciting)! I'm looking forward to accounts of all the action.
Float planing is perhaps a made up verb for taking a float plane (one of those small planes that lands on water - yikes). I'll post a pic of one when we get there. We're taking one over to see the bears eating salmon one of our days along the coast.
Can't wait to read about your adventures in the northern wilderness! Especially now that I am addicted to Deadliest Catch. It's a shame crab fishing isnt one of the excursions. Safe travels! - Jen
