Six years ago my husband and I took a cruise to Alaska. We were so "wow-ed" by the beauty and grandeur of that magnificent state that we decided to move there temporarily someday. We have been planning and working toward this goal ever since, and now we're within a couple weeks of fulfilling our dream. During this time our friends have been very encouraging and helpful. I think some of them secretly would like to be going with us! This blog is a way we can take them along.
