Alaska Is...

Alaska is…
A beautiful place to meet and get to know people.
A place to share an adventure with new friends.
Full of incredible wildlife and mountain views.
A place to experience the last frontier.
A place I would like to come back to someday.

Final Reflections

            As I look back on the AGLP trip 2009, I realize that my expectations were different this year compared to my 2007 trip.  Then, I was the first timer. 
            This year I was able to spend more time watching the awe-struck reactions of the kids as they witnessed the beauty of the mountains and hear the excitement in their voices when they saw a whale or an otter for the first time.  I loved listening to the scramble in the back seats when someone would call out “Moose!” over the radio.  All in all, this year’s AGLP 2009 adventure was not about “ME.”  This year’s trip was about getting to know these amazing kids and watching them learn, grow as individuals, work together, and experience a lot of firsts as a family.
            This AGLP program and these kids are awesome.  I am proud to be associated with both of them.
