Hi Sue, You don't need a passport to get into Canada yet, but the law will change on June 1. It really is the easiest document to carry. More information about the changes can be found here on the Tips and Tales Blog. Kari

Hey Nicholle -- I'll be seeing you at Summit Lake this summer (right?). Marty just offered me a bartending job. Maybe I'll actually get out climbing, last year was just so crazy...

Hey Mike! Thanks for the message, but once again, it looks like I won't be driving. I really wish I could, but taking on the position that I was offered at the lodge, I need to be there sooner, and unfortunately, I won't be out of class until 2 da...

Postcard Picture

I received a postcard in the mail yesterday. It was a picture taken of Summit Lake. Granted, the entire picture resembles a serene watercolor of white and blue, washing together, with hints of spring on the way. You can't see the lake, it's completely covered by snow. You can't see the lodge either. But in some way, it's nice to get a "glimpse" of what will be home for the next four months. I put it on my fridge, to remind me for the next two weeks that this will all be worth it.

I am returning to Seward, but I'm actually flying in this time around seeing as I'm down in New Zealand at the moment. You should definitely drive up if you get the chance- it's an amazing trip! Let me know if you do and you'd like some tips on driving the Alcan. The Milepost is definitely worth ordering. Good luck- hope you find a road trip buddy!

I hope you made it up to AK safely and are enjoying your job... I'm currently wishing that I had looked for a job in a kitchen and am drooling as I pass the AVTEK culinary academy daily on my way into work. I've always wanted to get more into cooking. Where did you get your culinary degree?

At 2:48pm on May 14, 2008, Nicholle said…: I have less than 24 hours to go! And here I am, on the computer...I think I'm done picking up all the last minute necessities, until I get to Anchorage that is! Will need to do some grocery shopping, which only adds to the amount of stuff I have! If only I wasn't bringing all my climbing gear, but alas, it's what keeps me going, and I would feel lost without it....speaking of which, just bought 6 new quickdraws..anyone want to help break them in??? Off to go reorganize once again, so my stuff will be allowed on the plane....suitcase is 60 lb and backpack is only 30 lb, so I need to even them out, so I don't have to pay. Unfortunately, this means that all my stuff will be completely disorganized, until I get to the hostel, and reorganize it to how I originally wanted it packed! Off I go...no more procrastinating, the plane won't wait for me......

At 7:37am on May 7, 2008, Kyle Nyce said…: Most likely i will be in either california and arizona. I plan on doing that ACE volunteer thing out there; either starting in june or july. And it runs 12 weeks. Plus I plan on roadtripping back eaSt, so, i'm pretty wide open in driving anywhere to do it.

now i'll just have to work on buying the stuff

At 4:12pm on May 6, 2008, Kyle Nyce said…: I've never done it, but would be really interested in learning, so I really wouldn't want to slow you down haha.

Unless you(anyone else who joins) cares to be slowed down some by a beginner

At 3:32pm on May 6, 2008, Kyle Nyce said…: where do you mountain climb?

At 1:29pm on May 6, 2008, Nikki said…: I am only staying in Anchorage the night of the 15th and the next day I am taking the shuttle down to Cooper Landing. Where are you staying in Anchorage? I haven't booked a hostel yet or anything. We should definitely plan on meeting up!
