It is a badly needed trip. I was busy, distracted, tired and stressed out, desperately need to get away, to escape, to forget and to detach ... I knew that nature will always ease, calm, nurture and ultimately heal ... I knew a trip to Alaska will do the magic for me ...

It is a good trip. Well, when I look back, it seems all trips I took were good, even though every time I wish I had done more research, made better plans, visited more places, tried more things, talked to more people ... but all trips left me wonderful memories. There is just no such word 'a bad trip', in my dictionary at least.

It is one of the best trip. There are just right amount mix of exotic scenery, exciting wild life, exquisite cuisine, engaging and friendly people ( mostly are old ) ... It rains a lot in Alaska, we were advised to bring our raincoat, our umbrella which we did, but there was not a single drop of rain for all the seven days. We had been called lucky for the perfect weather wherever we went. And I had a wonderful travel company whom I have known for many years. We ate together, wondered around together, looked at the glacier in awe at the same time, took the pictures of the same animals, talked to the same people ... We discussed with each other, we listened to each other's story, we took pictures of each other, and most importantly, we cracked up each other ...

It is a trip that I want to remember, remember forever and ever ... So I will start writing, writing about things I saw, stories I heard, animals I greeted, people I met, and of course the feeling I had in my heart ... Before the images start fading, the memories start deteriorating, let me start my typing ...
