We have been to New York City so…

First Impressions of Alaska
Greetings! This is the first of our (hopefully) many blogs about Alaska. aptly titled our First Impressions of Alaska. Below are some links that may interest you if you want to read more about Alaska. Just a note: all these photos (including the wildlife ones) are taken by either me or Ruby. Some of them look like they are close encounters with wildlife, and trust us, they are close encounters. You can also read about how we fund and afford our travels, or about travel hacking, which was how we scored our airline tickets to Alaska in the first place. If you have any other questions, feel free to leave…
