I'm a girl who has picked up and moved from coast to coast (& north past most of Canada). That is... Norfolk, Virginia to Bethel, Alaska. --- This journal is a record of the move, and life in the Tundra.

Chilly summer

We've had a few days in the high 60s or low 70s but mostly it's been in the 50s. And even worse it's been rainy. This weekend it's also quite windy. My apt is creaking and moaning and the tall bushes are whipping around all over the place.

Last weekend I was in Anchorage just relaxing though and it was great to have my first real vacation weekend since I've been up here. I've gotten out of town before but not really a vacation. We were able to get manicures and pedicures, massages, shaan was able to get her hair done, I got a piercing and then we drove out to Kenai for a day and watched dip-net fishing- which can be brutal since some people club the fish they pull out. It was nice to just be in a car and drive again. 3/4 a tank of gas cost me less than $40- mind blowing.

Now it's the Olympics and relaxing. Hope you all enjoy the games.

Taco Bell visits Bethel after local prank... resulting commercial



This commercial is property of Taco Bell and posted through YouTube. I don't own any part of this commercial. I'm simply posting it to show some of the latest happenings in the town I currently reside.

Note: It's said that it's a 3-4 hour trip into Anchorage. This is not entirely correct. The flight from Bethel (flying is the ONLY option for travel) takes just over an hour to get there. IF flights were offered more than 2-3 times a day it could possibly be a 3-4 hour round trip for a fast-food meal.
