The peace and serenity

of doing a voyage like that yourself is a once in a life time experience. Getting there is always half the fun! -----Here come a riddle, here come a clue If you were really smart, you'd know what to do when I say Why am I going out of my head, whenever you're around? The answer is obvious, love has come to town-----

Traveled to Alaska to club books?

Well, I guess since taking it out on the little baby seals has fallen into disfavor if you have to club something books will have to do. Seems like there's plenty of books down here need clubbing, though. Cheers, AlaskaGirl! Club on!

What a magical journey.

What a magical journey. Something tells me that time will pass in a different space for her. And that's the magic, the beauty, of a journey of the heart. She will always be AlaskaGirl here.Her body may wander but her spirit is shining on us all now. Good for her, seize the day. Thanks for sharing this story erickat. Just wonderful, wishing her all the best of life to come.

Update

AlaskaGirl is in Alaska, Safe & Sound (well - we'll think about that last part) - busy hiking & enjoying life & looking for work & lodging - so she will be AlaskaGirl here soon - but it may take her a while - what with book club & whatnot (Book club?) Got to get the priorities straight - in the meanwhile, nobody take the name AlaskaGirl - I reserved it for her - she just needs to respond with the last little bit of effort to achieve all that she can be - AlaskaGirl. I've been sending her hurry up emails - but given the fact that she sold her house, travelled all the way across the continent (by herself) and is doing book club before finding a job and place to live - I doubt she'll listen to me (nor should she)

great places to be

http://www.alaskabeers.com/ http://www.glacierbrewhouse.com/ They look like good places to be. I heard from her - She's in. I tried to get her to register on the site, but she had trouble. I registered her as AlaskaGirl - with her email - she just has to finish it off now - then she can post herself. I suggested that at least she write the story up for readers digest & get a hundred bucks - but she's shy about that kind of stuff. I guess she's also kind of busy doing dumb stuff like looking for a place to live & a job & whatnot.

The Glacier Brewhouse!

That would be a good place to be in Anchorage, for two reasons: They're having a release party for their Eisbock beer ("big, malty, slightly fruity and high in alcohol") tomorrow, and they have a Market Price Blue Plate Special where the special costs whatever the Dow Jones avg for the previous day is, so tomorrow it'll only be $6.88. Then again, might need to check out the Sleeping Lady Brewing Co. ************************************** *The white zone is for loading and unloading only* **************************************
