OK, a new year is hear and so I have new plans for traveling!
Where to, you might wonder, my industrious friends....
the answer is: the final frontier!
Otherwise known as
I think it´s the whole financial crisis that makes me want to go away and hide for a while...hence Alaska.
I´ve done a shitload of research and from all the sites I´ve visited I´ve arrived at the following conclusions:
1. Bears are dangerous if you put a sandwich next to your bed while you sleep
+
= Not a good combo (unless the sandwich really is bigger than the bear in real life as I then could use it to protect myself with)
2. Alaska is far, far away (look - so far away it almost didn´t get to be on the map)
3. You can see Russia from Alaska
What more do I need to know?
oh, and apparently I need to have an initiary, so here goes
The only thing I knew from the start was that I didn´t want to fly to Alaska (too easy) Therefor I´m gonna spend some time in that little country called Canada first. And I can´t go to Canada without doing something Brokeback related, can I? My plan is to rent a car for only a day or two and go back to some of the places I visited last summer, preferably Cowley and Fort MacLeod.
And then the whole Alaska adventure starts with me catching a greyhound buss to Prince Rupert from Calgary...hop on a ferry to Skagway....buss to Whitehorse....pick up a rental car...drive into Alaska...do a loop....back to Whitehorse...drop the car off...get on a greyhound buss and go back to Calgary
Should be a piece of cake, right?
