Hello Everyone, It's been quite some time since I've revisted the travel journal; but I have set off alone for the great land of Iceland and the midnight sun. I've always wanted to visit Iceland, I'm not sure why but for some reason it has always spoken to me. Reykjavik is the northernmost capital in the world and quite possibly the most expensive. The cuntryside is where it's at though; waterfalls, mountains, volcano's, geothermal hot spots, glaciers, the midnight sun, wildlife, lava fields, etc. Day One I arrived in Reykjavik early Friday morning with all intentions of having a n [View Full Entry]

Hey Everyone, I hope all is well with everyone, I thought I would post some of my favorite pictures from our recent trip down to Tennessee and North Carolina for the Great Smokey Mountains National Park! On our way down we crossed the Mason Dixon line and entered into our first taste of southern living. It was quite the expereince to say the least. It almost left like we had entered into another country! We were definietly in the bible belt with lots of religious music and giant crossess on the road side whenever we went. They just do not understand [View Full Entry]

Better late than never but I thought I should wrap up our random thoughts, memories, and pictures! Well the time has come, we are finally back from our amazing trip and it feels wonderful to be home. Of course it is a little bittersweet, I would have loved to stay on the road but 9 weeks is a long time to be away from all the creature comforts of home. It sure has been a long strange trip but I wouldn't change it for the world. We have had so much fun and have been able to see so many wonderful [View Full Entry]

Quite impressive mountains
Hi Everyone, So when I said that my last post would probably be my last post, I was just kidding! I found another wireless connection so I figured I would post some pictures of the Grand Tetons National Park. Coming from Yellowstone to the Tetons was quite a change of pace. The tetons has a laid back atmosphere and a lot less people sightseeing. The mountains in the tetons are about 12,000-13,000 tall and a considered a very young mountain range that is still growing a couple millimeters a year. The mountains are really rocky with jagged peaks and glaciers that [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone, Travelblog doesn’t seem to be working all too reliably these days so I thought I would give it a try, so hopefully it will work. We have spent the last couple of days in Wyoming at Yellowstone National Park. This is one of my favorite places that I have ever traveled to. There are so many different types of sights to see from multi colored boiling mud pots, mammoth hot springs, canyons, waterfalls, fumaroles, and my favorite the beautiful springs all over the park. We tried to make it to most of the stops along the way but Yellowstone [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone, I know that it’s been a long time since my last post but trying to find a wireless connection out here is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. The past week has been amazing. We drove the entire length of the Alaskan Highway and saw some beautiful wildlife, grizzly bears, black bears, buffalo, stone sheep, mountain goats, and a coyote. The highlight for me was seeing two young grizzly cubs eating and playing on a hillside, they were truly beautiful. The drive was long at times but so strikingly beautiful that it made up for it!

Hi Everyone, I have some good news and some bad news depending on how you look at it. We have officially started our long drive home. We left Alaska behind with fond memories and a special place in my heart. Visiting Alaska has been a dream of mine since I can remember and once again I have fulfilled a part of my dreams. We went to so many places in AK that it seemed like we were there forever, Fairbanks, Denali, Chena Hot Springs, Seward, Kenai, Soldotna, Homer, Anchorage, Valdez, Wrangell St. Elias but I could spend a lifetime in Alaska [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone, We are now touring away through the coastal towns and villages of Alaska. Right now we are on the Kenai Peninsula and have visited almost every town so far; Seward, Soldotna, Kenai, Anchor Point, Nillichick, and Homer. Everything here has been so beautiful and unexpected. We started out in Seward, Alaska visiting the harbor and Kenai Fjords National Park. The town is situated on the Gulf of Alaska and Resurrection Bay which is surrounded by coastal mountains. The mountains are beautiful and there are so many glaciers visible from the streets of the town. We indulged in som [View Full Entry]
