Alaska

Alaska. For me this has been a dream come true. I have always fantasized about making it to Alaska and here we are.

We met Eric through the old VW network. I read a review of Jerry Steimel’s book Chasing Zorba in Vintage Voice magazine, so I looked up the editor, who happened to be Eric.

Oregon

Oregon has been wonderful. Forests. Friendly folks. Amazing wines. Affordable camping. Relaxing coastal drives. Snow. Sun. Mountains. Ocean. This has been one of our favorites. Here’s some photos:

Podcast: Jenn & Alice
