Driving To & From Alaska: Our Day-By-Day Guide
We enjoyed our drive up to Alaska far more than we'd anticipated.

Hotel Review: The 98 Hotel In Whitehorse, Canada
On both our drive up to Alaska and our drive back down, we stayed in Whitehorse.

1 Week In Wasilla, AK: Musk Ox, Excellent Beer, Amazing Views, Iditarod Sled Dogs & More
After a couple of great days in Healy to visit Denali National Park, we headed 3.5 hours south to Wasilla. Wasilla is a city 45 minutes north of Anchorage where we'd be staying after Wasilla, so it might seem pointless staying in both places seeing as it's a relatively short … [Read more...] about 1 Week In Wasilla, AK: Musk Ox, Excellent Beer, Amazing Views, Iditarod Sled Dogs & More
