My Big ALASKAN adventure

Ketchikan

Ok, I had imagined ever since watching Into the Wild (I know I am obsessed…I’m ok with that) that I would be heading to Alaska one day. I didn’t know it would first be on a cruise ship, but I would have to say, it’s a pretty awesome way to see it. From the moment I woke up this morning and stepped outside….my heart leaped with excitement. Even the air was so different. It was more crisp. More Fresh. I felt like a new journey is on its way. I was ready for it.

My parents are on board this week, so I am really lucky to get to spend some time with them. My brave Dad, who gets sooooo seasick, decided to chance it and hop on the shop with me. I am so thankful. We all booked a tour for today to go zip lining in the rain forest.  I’ve gone zip lining before in Costa Rica, but the last time I went, I had to go with someone…..so this time it was even more thrilling. Our guides were so much fun and really made the whole experience worth it. The zips were so fast… I could have done it all day. Hanging from trees like that for a job, would be such a thrill! I am happy too, because I think I would like to hang out with these people next time I am in town. Every two weeks we will be coming back to Ketchikan. It’s an amazing place. There were trees, creeks, bald eagles and all sorts of wild life everywhere. This is my kind of place. Give me the nature….and I am a happy gal. And the day could NOT have been more beautiful. It was sunny, in a place that rains 90% of the time. I think my parents brought the sunshine with them from California. I cannot wait to see the rest of Alaska. Juneau is next. I think we are doing a helicopter tour of the glaciers. Oh my gosh! We have a show tonight, and then the day off tomorrow. Here’s to the next chapter of my journey and experiencing it with great friends and family!
