After a hiatus, I'm back! And with good news :)
I pulled up stakes in New York and spent two months saying goodbye to the east coast (at least for now!) and driving all my stuff to North Dakota and Utah (thanks to the family members hosting some of my stuff, I really appreciate it!).
After that whirlwind, I packed everything I thought I'd need into my new (to me) car and drove up to Alaska. I'm grateful to my best friend for making the trip up with me - turning it into a vacation and adventure!
Once we rolled into town, I set up an appointment with the woman I'd been talking to on and off for several months. The risk to just show up paid off - she and her daughter-in-law decided I was a good fit and offered me a part-time job.
So, here I am, in Alaska. Working for Alaska Travelers Accommodations. Living the dream!
I've already learned a lot, and have some fun posts in the works (including pictures of washing windows with the beautiful narrows reflecting behind me) - so stay tuned, more coming soon!
Just so you have an idea of how beautiful this place is, here's a view from our office window:
