Alaska Is...  

        Alaska is a rushing passenger train, welcoming all who want to board and taking them to a land of new ideas, personal growth, and a peace of mind.

Final Reflections

Addicted.
Addicted to a place that has grasped me in its beauty. Addicted to the sweet, salty, cool air that is so fresh and rejuvenating. Addicted to the feelings of hope, love, relief, courage, and strength hitting me at once. Addicted to the warm cup of coffee in the bitter coldness of the morning. Addicted to the people I love around me. Addicted to the hugs and the positive attitudes. Addicted to the feeling that I made someone's day. Addicted to the feeling of accomplishment when standing at the top of a mountain. Addicted to the surreal feeling when watching a whale jump out of the water. Addicted to dancing and trying new things. Addicted to the encouragement around me. Addicted to watching the moon rise over the mountains. Addicted to seeing a kids face light up the same way mine did the first time. Addicted to the songs of the birds in the morning. Addicted to the sound of the waves coming in one by one. Addicted to a great escape that makes everything seem okay. Addicted to to the place that has changed my life. Addicted to a family I will never forget. Addicted to a journey that will always be in my heart. Addicted to Alaska.
