July 29 - August 27, 2024 - Flying to Alaska and Back
This was the big one. The Grandaddy of all cross-countries. Alaska. The last frontier. The ultimate long cross-country. When my youngest daughter moved to Alaska I knew I would fly there someday soon. We visited her twice via commercial airline so I knew my way around up there a little beforehand, which helped. Finally the day came and I was off. North to Alaska.
