This is Linda and I finally decided I shouldn't wait until I have time to do this or I'll never get it done! The amount of things I had to do since I returned home on Wednesday is astronomical. Yesterday I went to Tipton to pick up my mail and attend a grandchild event and Monday I am going to Lee's Summit to see my new grandson and his big brother.

I actually cooked today and it was really good! We had a lot of very good food on our trip as well as some that wasn't so good, but my own cooking definitely tastes good!

I can't really say that I have a favorite part of our trip. The most I can say is that I really enjoyed seeing a lot of scenery I had never seen before as well as a lot of animals in the wild I hadn't seen before. Some I had seen in zoos, but that is just not the same as seeing them beside the road or in the open water.

I have been asked is I'd do it again, and yes, I would go again. I would recommend to anyone to go and drive all the way like we did. It was very special. Of course if you don't want your vehicle to get dirty inside and out, then don't drive. Alaska does have carwashes! We saw a lot of things that you wouldn't necessarily see on a tour and we didn't spend valuable time at the tourist traps. We visited with a lot of very intersting people, both Alaskans and visitors from other states and countries.

Sometimes we have been tired when it was time to write in this blog, but I am glad we did it and I hope you have enjoyed reading it as much as we enjoyed doing it and reading it ourselves. Happy traveling!

Linda
