May 9, 2014 - Getting Ready (Colorado Springs, CO)

 

 

Well I know it’s been awhile since I have written in this blog.

We have been planning a trip to Alaska since we started full-timing more then 5 years ago. This is the year!!

We have been at Mountaindale since the end of March. During that time I have been training the two ladies that will be working this summer while we are heading North. We also have been purging our stuff to lighten the load and storing our stuff at our sons.

We will be leaving here on May 14th and heading to Cabela’s in Nebraska. There we will meet up with Bob and Janet who are our travel companions.

I have promised to write about our trip in the blog and I plan to try to write at least every other day. My 3 travel mates have agreed to help.

January 24, 2014 - Alaska Planning Meeting #1(Mission, TX)

 

We decided to have our 1st planning meeting for our trip to Alaska.

I decided to make crab quiche for our brunch meeting. This was the 1st time I made this and I have to say it turned out to be very good. The recipe was to serve 4 and we ate it all. (Sorry forgot to take a picture)

Jesse had mapped out a route on Map Quest previously. After some discussion we decided to use that for now so he emailed it to us.

Now we can look up decided what we want to see at each stop. We all decided that it was a good productive meeting.

Our next meeting was an impromptu meeting while we were in Kerrville, TX. We talked about the foods we would prepare to eat and decided that most meals would be prepared for 4. The freedom to eat together or in our own homes will be decided as it happens.

Janet make the list and copied for both of us.

Sounds like we have the route done and the food planned.
