I knew this day would come eventually. It’s been pretty much written into our story since before we even got to Alaska. Eve as the years ticked by here the inevitable goodbyes always seemed so far away.
The day after New Years the movers came and packed up our host. The took most of our belongings to port and shipped them back to the lower 48. Three days ago we packed up the Jeep, hugged our friends goodbye, and set our sights on a place far, far away.
We managed to knock out the trip in less than 72 hours – a feat I would not again recommend – but I also wouldn’t recommend driving in -35 degree temps either.
A few snaps from our last few days in the house and our travels through Canada.
I’m going to miss you Alaska… but damn it feels good to be home.
Holly,
What memories you created and shared with us of your life in Alaska. I look forward to reading of your new home (Where will home be now?) and all the new memories you will make. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in your new venture.
Your Wisconsin friend with whom you created a memory for us to cherish from our brief time in Alaska. Donna
We actually just found out earlier this week which state we will soon be calling home, but are unsure of the exact area just yet. Stay tuned to find out! 😉
