Back to Alaska - 115 days and counting

After lots of thought and consideration -  I'm going back to Juneau for another summer adventure.  I must admit, Alaska got into my blood and I can't imagine a more amazing place to spend the summer.
This year though, I'm driving !!!  Well part of the way.  I'll drive from Boise to Prince Rupert, BC, Canada a whopping 1500  miles, and then take the ferry to Juneau and arrive there 24 hours later.

I am SO EXCITED!  First, to be back in  Juneau for the summer.  Second, for the road trip!  I love road trips.  I really, really do!

At the end of the summer Larry & Sarah are joining me in Juneau, we're going to take another little trip together.  We'll take the ferry to Skagway, and then drive to Fairbanks for a few days to hopefully (fingers crossed) experience the "Northern Lights"  -  they say if you spend 3 days in Fairbanks you have a 90% chance of seeing them -  I guess that means we better spend 4 days there :)

The road trip from Skagway to Fairbanks and then back to Idaho will be (drum roll please) 3300 miles -  did I mention I LOVE road trips!
