First Post

So this is the first entry in my official Alaskan blog. I start my trip on August 1st, and will get to Homer on August 10th. Thankfully I now have a place to land (and possibly turn into a more permanent living arrangement), and Jenn has helped me to find all the hotels. I just need to finalize one more hotel reservation, and then I will be all set for the trip (hotel-wise), at least. I've still got packing and organizing and being certified to teach to work on, but that's all in process and being worked on. I'll write more later, with all the details of where I'm going and what I'll be doing when I'm on my way.
