Oh, I am sooooooo jealous. I have always wanted to visit Alaska. My dad was stationed up there in WW2. When I was in Jr. High, I read every book I could get my hands on about Alaska. Still haven't made it up there. It's the only place that intrigues me. I have no interest in Europe, or S. America, or anywhere else. My dad and I decided we would take a cruise up there, but it didn't happen and now it's too late...were you born there? Moved there? Land of the Midnight sun...can I stay with you if I visit????? lol.

Sorry for the sidetrack... I have been to Alaska and South America (Chile). I can say that certain parts are VERY similar, awesome glaciers, wildlife, towering mountains, salmon, amazing rivers. Not sure what you think of when you think of S. Am, but there is some majorly beautiful country there. It is absolutely worth a visit.

But by all means visit Alaska too.

tygab, joining you on the sidetrack ... I have been to Central America (Mexico but Southern part), Europe far too few times. I wanna go back to all these: England, Scotland, France, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, Italy especially Italy.... travel is one of lifes greatest gifts. And there's a lot I've yet to see here in the States.

If you think you'd like Alaska you'll loooooooooove Norway.

while we are on this side track... there are many places to visit and so little time. the only place out of the 'country' i've been is the philippines (and going again this year.) oh wait... i guess i went to canada when i was small. all i remeember from that trip was my cousin's stinky feet.

You have no idea how I envy you. I really want to visit Alaska. DH had a job offer in Fairbanks and we are still wondering why he did not take it. I hate where I live. It is amazing how just 6 years in the middle of nowhere can change a person's perspective. DH and I loved it and would go back in a second. The only thing I would miss is good medical care.

you still can. where was your dad stationed? you are more than welcome to come and stay with me. i live out in cold bay. there was lots of WWII action here. there are scars of it all over. a few crashed aircraft remains also. lots of history. the alaska marine highway system comes right by here. a great way to see whats out on the peninnsula and chain.

like i said to uforgot, come up and visit! i love company. and NEED girl time. fairbanks the middle of no where? lol i figured i lived in the middle of no where. i'm more on the outskirts then the middle though. your right, it does change your perspective on life when you live out here. it is hard to get good medical care. the closet dr to me is in anchorage, a 2.5 hr flight away. one of the down falls of living here. there are medivacs if something does get really bad and we have a small clinic.

Thanks Trek. I'm going to check into these. They mention specifically Iraq and Afghanistan and fortunately he seems to be hitting "safe" countries. France, Italy, Greece, Germany, etc. So I'll have to see if they have them there.

[Trek420]

Good that he's staying in the "safe" countries, but spead the word if you know familes with kids in the "not safe' countries

You can also send he cards to VA hospitals I think.

whoo whooo, my 3000th post! I spend way too much time online I guess.

Hey Trek! You just hit 3,000!
