Dan & Sue's Alaska Adventure
I am creating this blog to document our trip to Alaska. As much for my recollection as it is to keep family and friends informed of where we are at, what we are doing, what we have seen and anything in between. We are starting with an open book with no schedule to speak of and we will take things as they come. I hope to see things I have not seen before, do things I have not done and go where I have not been. My main objective is not to bore anyone with mundane details but to get a vicarious thrill out of "tagging along". Comments from you all along the way will be appreciated and noted.
