Planning New Adventures

The Alaska trip is on our mind as we travel around Arizona and California, and as we plan our trip, we usually spend a few days researching the area where we plan to visit, such as the things we hope to experience, the landscape, the buildings, the coffee shops, and the arts and history of the area we are about to explore.

 But this trip we are planning for our adventure to Alaska has been quite an adventure itself, from the roads, the weather, the fuel, the trash, the potable water, to what we can and cannot carry across Canada as well as how much we are allowed to bring with us, such as dog food and dog treats. 

As part of our daily routine, we have to stay up to date on the type of food we eat and the amounts we can take into Canada. In the same breath, it can be a little overwhelming and exciting at the same time. 

In anticipation of being able to travel to Alaska for the first time, we are trying to prioritize all the activities and sights that we would like to see, as well as what must be seen and done. 

It is still important to keep in mind that no matter how much planning and research we do, it all comes down to the fact that the weather is extremely unpredictable, so in the end, we make plans, do the things we can, and then toss everything into the wind, and let everything fall where it may. There is a lot of excitement amongst us about what our trip is going to uncover.
