Have fun Ketchican is pretty cool, parts of me really miss Alaska, but I like living in the big city too. Beaverton has a larger population than Fairbanks...WAY more than ketchican!

Ketcikan isnt much unlike us here in Washington Its when you get inland more that you see the change & the BITTER Cold. You should still be having daylight hours there where up in like Fairbanks you dont get much if any this time of year. lol I should know I was born up there even though Its been 26yrs since I have been home.
I am bored out of my skull!!! There is nothing to do here except drink...at this rate I will need a new liver when I get home....The place is beautiful!!! But I need somehthing to do.
Mike, what the hell you doing there? Where are you working now?
And I still have your scanner. Lets get together when you get back.

No fair!
Hubby only gets to go to DC or Colorado or HelLA (or a month in two hurricanes in Louisiana) on the govt's dime.
Its never anyplace fun that I would go along, San Diego would be better than Denver in April.
Mike, might as well join the locals and drink up!

The only thing that almost worked out in Louisiana is one of the part suppliers was just a few blocks from where the control center was. They were willing to offer us a little more discount on parts we needed but of course - the federal gooberment didn't pay us unitl 3 months later. They still owe us about 2 grand from that stint so I don't hold my breath anymore.

And if not, I would spend it to check it out....some of the best U.S. skiing (so I have heard) is in the Colorado/Utah areas. So If I was planning out a vacation...and you look at it realistically....how much does a day at Disneyworld, or a day sightseeing in NY, DC, etc cost for one person? At LEAST $130 if not a lot more with food and crap.......so to me, it is no big deal as I LIVE to ski and don't mind paying for it.
