Yay! I'd love to meet you. Just a warning -- our plans are not yet fixed and may not be for a month or so. We're bringing Joe's father and stepmother with us so my schedule will be less my own than usual. We've just talked and we're likely to return to Aleyeska for at least part of this trip. We both fell in love with Girdwood and Aleyeska - and there's little on Earth to rival the beauty of the Kenai Peninsula. But why am I telling you? You undoubtedly know.

I know your schedule is packed, as well, so I'll try to keep you updated as we make decisions. I'm pushing for flying out the last week of August and returning either Sept. 10 or 11. This will almost assuredly change, though, because I'm only one of four...but that's the general schedule I'm pushing for.
