First ever blog

Ok I'm going to start this blog as a journal of our trip to Alaska!

Maps and Questions

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Excursion+Inlet,+AK&hl=en&ll=57.806725,-135.076904&spn=2.13947,7.13562&sll=58.757162,-134.932709&sspn=0.260337,0.891953&oq=excursion,+AK&t=h&hnear=Excursion+Inlet,+Haines,+Alaska&z=8

Totally confused about where we are going.  I love to read maps.  I need to see the whole picture.  So I looked up Excursion Inlet, Alaska and found this lovely map. After looking at it closely I see that we aren't really very close to what I assumed was the Pacific Ocean. We are in the Gulf of Alaska which quickly turns into the Pacific Ocean! But our little Inlet isn't so close.  2 weeks!!!

Today was a rough one and really makes me look forward to a break from some of the stuff going on around here.

We bought our boots and rain gear. They have rain boots for us there so I can take mine back to Walmart. Doesn't rain enough at my house to warrant rain boots!

Willie started looking for shirts to wear. Looking at Weather.com shows the temperatures are steady at 40 - 50 degrees. That is the low is 40 the high is 50! History shows June and July's temps averaging lows at 47-50 and highs 62 - 64, so gotta pack layers. I found a long sleeve shirt at Walmart of $3 - I love clearance prices!

Knowing we aren't near any Walmarts or Walgreens I'm trying to pack things we MIGHT need but hope not! Like Aspirin, Benadryl, Pepto, bandages, etc. Do I need a hat? A sunhat or a cap? Sunglasses?

Ok that's it for today! Have lots to do to get ready so I can relax while I'm gone!

Learning to Blog

Well this is my first entry into this blog - I'm not sure what Blog means.

Ahhh...

Answers.com says this - I asked the question, "What is a blog" they answered "A website that displays in chronological order the postings by one or more individuals and usually has links to comments on specific postings."


So now I know what it and so I shall!

Stay tuned!

Now I need to figure out how to share my Chronological-ness.
