A ship about to sail...

Two more days and I will be leaving for Alaska. As of now I am cleaning up what will soon be another apartment I left to go and see the world. I am excited. Driving up to Alaska has been a dream and I am finally making that dream come true. Alex and I are driving his truck, Betsy, and my dog Trixie will be joining us too. It will be the three of us and together we will travel at least 7 thousand miles.

So many have asked what I will be doing up there and where I will stay. Others ask why Alaska, while others warn me of mosquitoes, and others tell me their stories. Here is my reason...

I love the rugged outdoors.

A velcro chandelier? Awesome!

I think this is really neat when artists use obscure objects, like velcro to create art. This artist/designer is Rachel O'neill from Ireland. I love her inspiration: the ocean.
