About this blog

Well it has been a long year chained to my laptop. It worked out well with a degree (official as of the July 25th), a new job (starting Aug 27th)and a successful move. I am ready to celebrate with a few weeks of doing whatever the heck I want. I am off on this adventure to the only part of the US I haven't seen.

I hope to accomplish a number of things on this trip:

1. Visit my 47th, 48th, 49th, and 50th state. 2. Eat lots of salmon 3. Meet a Mountie 4. See a glacier before they disappear 5. Detox from caffine 6. Relax enough to stop making lists

I will try to post every day with pics, trivia, and my impressions. If I don't it is because my hotel didn't have free Wi-fi. Please enjoy and participate by posting comments.
