My Year on the Road - Part One

Disclaimer - I've been "resting on my laurels" or as humans say, sitting on my lazy ass, on this post for a while.  These travel posts are coming almost a year over due.  In 2011, I traveled more than any other year.  Hoppins from coast to coast, north to south, airport to airport, hotel to hotel, and endless bus ride to steamboat ride.

Where did I go you ask?  Well, I blazed through time zones to Alaska and back with my family, drove up scenic (And porn filled) Route 15 to Buffalo with one of my best friends, and went up to the home of the Green Monsta(The City Of Boston) with my best friend/girlfriend.

So let me start with trip one, July and my family trek across the United States to Alaska.  Land of Whales, Bears, Palin (Vomit {Boo, hiss.  Sorry family, I know I'm the Black Sheep, deal with it}), and beautiful country side.

So I decided instead of making this a multi part post, I'd turn it into a picture post.  Here we go.

Seattle Airport, the longest layover on the trip but it was an awesome airport.  

Fairbanks, Alaska at 10pm.  This was one of the first things we saw when we landed and got to the hotel.

Our excursion in Fairbanks was on the Steamboat Discovery III

Roughly 60% of Alaskan citizens have their pilots license due to lack of major highway systems. 

Suddenly, puppies.

Rest stop on the bus ride from Fairbanks to Denali.

Denali's Resort.  Our second stop on the trip.

A moose chick crossing the road in Denali National Park behind our bus.

"The Great One" aka Denali, photo taken from 40 miles away.

We rode to the boat in style.

Whale watching with Capitan Rick.

Mendenhall Glacier.

Lumberjack Competition in Ketchican, the last stop on the trip.

So that's it.  If you have more questions or wanna see more pictures, e-mail me or leave a comment below and I'll glady send you more.  Next up, Travel Log Buffalo Style.
