Plans got underway today for the big 2006 Alaska tour. Taking a break from the Lewis & Clark trail, Dad & I decided we would venture to the 49th state for next year's adventure exploration vacation.
Initial plans have Dad flying to Las Vegas June 13, resting with a bike ride (for him) and a run (for me) around the scenic Red Rock loop. We'll fly non-stop from Las Vegas to Anchorage. Other plans include the Mayor's Midnight Sun Marathon. What's a vacation without a 26.2-mile jog!
The rest of the week we'll visit Mt. McKinley, the tallest peak in North America. Denali as the natives call it. Dad will get in some great bike rides and I'll take a million pictures. No need for a flash because the sun doesn't set in June in Alaska.
My friend Amy from Florida may meet us there, she has cousins in Alaska. She says she's not running in any marathons. Why not Amy?

Thats a lot of places to visit,I guess the distances are relatively short .I will pick up a map of Alaska at AAA so I can follow the preperations.
hey, you exercise junkie! i think running a marathon just would not be fun, you know, for me. i want to visit the fam and ride bikes and maybe hike up flat top mountain, etc., but not run 20-whatever miles. but you can. i'll have to check, but kathy probably will participate. i can't wait to see liana -- she is a senior in high school now, and the last time i saw her, she was 4 years old.
