I’m looking at the possibility of installing a Gallery to share my Alaska photos, but I’m also considering a Flickr account (or something similar) instead. If you have experience with Flickr or one of the other media-sharing sites I’d like to know your opinion.

I didn’t do a lot of writing while I was on the trip so I’m still going through the notes I did make and fleshing them out. I do have some stories to share with the photos; I just have to get them out of my head through my fingers to the keyboard.

Just because I could… I took my mp3 player with me to listen to on the plane. I made sure that while I was in Anchorage I listened to Anchorage by Michelle Shocked. It’s just one of those things that appeals to my geekiness. Besides, I’ve always liked that song.

Day 6 - Captain Cook (Discovery)
Day 7 - Portage Portage)
Day 8 - Indian (Bird Creek)
Day 9 - Anchorage (hotel)

This is all in the Kenai peninsula — an area with lots to see and do, but a very small part of the whole state. We opted not to attempt Denali or any of the northern or western extremes this trip. We booked in advance the airline tickets (of course), the RV, a hotel for the night after returning the RV (long hot showers and real beds!), a boat tour out of Seward, and the fishing guide in Kasilof. We left as much flexibility in as we could.
