Alive!

Just a quick note, as I'm on a borrowed computer (dial-up, too, so I'm tying up the phone line checking my email). We reached Alaska safely after a week of travel; we got into Glennallen, AK, this afternoon, where Orion's parents live, and will stay with them for a couple of days before heading up to Fairbanks to house-hunt.

All I can say is I'm SO glad that the drive is over. It was long. Very very long.

Um, hi. I'm a friend of Senri's, and I was just browsing her friends page when I saw this post. I just though I'd mention that I used to live in Valdez, and we'd pass through Glenallen every time we went to Anchorage. It's beautiful country, isn't it?

Hi! Yes, it *is* pretty. I'm somewhat more partial to Southcentral myself, since I grew up down there -- I like the lush wet climate with lots of big trees. I've only been to Valdez once, on a ferry trip from Whittier a few years ago ... it was really gorgeous down there. We spent the night in a nice bed & breakfast in Valdez and then drove up to Fairbanks the following day.
