Seven days to departure! This means that by tuesday Davy and I will be on the first plane to Anchorage, Alaska.
From there we'll rent a car and travel through the alaskan interior (which is what they call the (not even!) 1/3rd of the state that's actually drivable).
Stops along the way will be numerous, though they've all got something in common: small towns, lost in the middle of trees, offering Davy n me a great opportunity to go hiking and camping during 4 weeks of traveling. Not only hiking though, also rafting and multi-day kayaking! :)
Up until today, we've nearly planned it all. Overnight stays are booked with couchsurfing (network that enables you to offer your couch to travelers, non-profit - obviously :-) ).
If we're not staying with alaskan people you can find us @ the forest campground along the way. You'll recognize the yellow tent... not the best to blend out in the woods I guess... :D
Obviously we've booked a few nights in hotels! A real shower is necessary once in a while... Haha... :)
Here's what our trip looks like up until now:
ANCHORAGE (19.-21.07.11)
KENAI (21.-27.07.11)
SEWARD (27.-30.07.11)
CORDOVA (BY FERRY) (30.07.-03.08.11)
VALDEZ -> WRANGELL ST. ELIAS NATIONAL PARK (03.-06.08.11)
HIGHWAYS 4 - 1 - 2 FROM VALDEZ TO CHENA (06.-07.08.11)
CHENA HOT SPRINGS (07.-10.08.11)
FAIRBANKS (10.-11.08.11)
DENALI NATIONAL PARK (11.-15.08.11)
ANCHORAGE (15.-16.08.11)
Now all we need to do is take the camera and pack loads of mosquito repellant stuff, although I think... sadly... that we don't stand a chance... :)
We'll keep you posted (... at least whenever we find internet up there in the woods! :) )
