When I took an 11 AM break yesterday to feed the kittehs, I also made a phone call to book passage on a one day Arctic Excursion for Terry and I with the Northern Alaska Tour Company out of Fairbanks. They had several one day adventures available including two that were a combination of drive/fly, but the one that seemed most "educational" was the Arctic Circle Native Culture Adventure. The tour starts at 5 AM and you return to Fairbanks around 7 PM. It will be a long day but a rewarding one, I'm sure.

Rev. Paul, who is Way Up North in Anchorage has said to give him a call when we are in town. (That'll be July 11th, Paul. Keep the date available.)

Got word from our friends in Colorado Springs that they are saving a weekend for us on our return leg. Even if the weather isn't good for any ballooning, the margaritas will flow like water as we catch up with one another.

Only 21 days until we start!

Your day trip above the Circle will be a good one - and will be over before you realize it. Of course, Fairbanks is only 25 miles from the Arctic Circle, but there's a lot of Alaska north of it.
I'm looking forward to meeting you, too.
Bring something to make you sleep. Rule 1 when you come up here that time.
rule 2... bug dope is your friend!
rule 3... understand not all Alaskans will be friendly or smell "good".
rule 4... take as many photo's as you can!
rule 5... enjoy yourself and have a sense of humor.
Enjoy Alaska!
Bring (or be prepared to purchase) skin lotion. It's practically arid here (at least in south-central AK) and you can expect dry skin issues.
