This weekend we went to visit Pete and Pats older brother and his familie in Soldotna. One thing was obvious, we were going FISHING, woohoo, fishing heaven down there. When we went to get our licenses something funny happened, when my sister had filled out her papers and wanted to pay the lady just said "it's on the house and thank you for your service" because she is married to an army dude. :p was a really nice gesture. Living with an american family was quite funny to experience, and too see how things are. We went to see what Homer was like, an quite amazing town, i'll post some photos from that beautiful place, i can't describe it in words. After we came home from Homer, Pete, Pat and I went fishing. and we got ... read more

My brother in law and i went to play some golf today, after we went to "Flo's pancake house" for breakfest. Flo's was great and i havent had such a breakfest for ages. anyways, we went to his farv course but they were holding a tournament so we couldnt play there. We went to a very public place and rented a set for me and we started off. it was a complete joke, not that i hadnt played the game for 2-3 years but the course, the fariway was more or less rough and the green was 20% concrete with a carpet ontop. when we got to hole number 6, a bum was sitting at the teabox with his beer. after the drive we went to get the balls and some local kid came riding his ... read more

There i was, just got off in Anchorage, Alaska, i was really tired after 24 hours of travelling. I went to go through the passport control, no problems there. I took my passport and proceeded to get my bagage, when i heard a voice "Mr. Turner, would you please come this way?" hah! i was going to be interrogated. They wanted to know if i knew how severe a crime it was to smuggle stuff, if i was doing anything like that, apperently they seemed more conserned about smuggling birds then drugs. that bird flu is a serious thing over here. Anyway, after the little conversation i went down to get my bagage. When i went through the customs, they were suspicious at my bagage, jeez, they went through my suitcases and when they opened the ... read more

The big day has arrived and all the hassle with getting my stuff together has begun. Alot of people would think it's stupid not to begin preparing a bit before the day you leave, but that's not the way i do it. All though i've already done a bit of prep, i've gotten anti histimins, because apperently the mosquitos in Alaska is one step away from being as dangerous as people carrying weapons. Anyway, im looking forward to my 14 hour flight and especially if im gonna get searched while entering the us, i bet they will suspect someone like me for all kinds of funny things. I hope my journey will go smooth, but i cant really predict anything, so im just hoping for the best, and i cant wait to see my sister again, ... read more
