Your #11 (snow) is exactly what my TT is about. I am definitely not ready for it to snow (Alaska has been more home for 40…the novelty of snow has worn off!). Happy TT!

Amen so Sarah Palin! My son went to Alaska this summer to work with kids and I love pouring over his pictures. What an adventure you must be on. I’d love to try some of that fresh salmon. My list is here: http://www.audrakrell.com/2008/09/thirteen-ways-t.html

We visited Alaska a couple years ago and enjoyed it so I would argee with most of your list, although a few of them left me going “Really?”

How’d I guess that Gov. Palin would make it in there somewhere.
No TT, though.

Ah, my husband just mentioned last night that he wouldn’t mind moving to Alaska if Utah doesn’t work out. Now that you wrote all this wonderful stuff, I know he’ll want to go!
