Still in Denver. But I'm going to start blogging today because Sophia and I are moving tomorrow, and I'm finding it difficult to pack for more than 45 minutes at a time. And I'm running out of procrastination tactics (isn't procrastination the very essence of blogging?).
So here's some Alaska news:
Yesterday we made reservations to go halibut fishing in Homer!! We're going to buy derby tickets as well and hopefully win 1000s of dollars (you win prizes for the biggest fish or even just snagging a tagged one).
Julie (the littler Tkac) will probably be joining us for a larger chunk of the road trip than expected. She's deciding today...so we might just have to add her to the blog.
I returned from VT last weekend with LOTS of fun goodies for the trip--camp kits, a cookstove, and enough Gore-Tex to stay dry forever (things I learned from my father this week: Gore-Tex is essential to outdoorsiness, and don't be fooled by Fake Gore-Tex. Fake Gore-Tex is NOT Ed Clark-Approved.) Oh, and incredible bug shirts. With face netting. Don't worry, we'll put up pictures.
I promise that this blog will eventually be 1000% more amazing and hilarious. This is just a warm-up.
T-10 days!!!
Isabelle, Sophia, and Rachel set out to drive from Denver to Alaska and back again. Will the journey to Seward's Folly be OUR folly? We'll let you know here.
