Travel Time

Its time for more travel. I kinda got bored, so I decided its time to get on an airplane and go somewhere.

I will be in Fairbanks and Barrow Alaska over the next week. I have not been there in the winter, so it should be interesting. My wife, on the other hand, used to live there before i held her hostage in Seattle, so it will be nothing new for her.

I have been to weather.com to keep an eye on the weather. I keep getting these ads next to the temperature, saying stuff like "click here to get out of the cold" which leads me to travel deals to hawaii. Sometimes i wonder what the hell is wrong with my travel plans.

I'll try to blog my trip. Last time i couldn't. Internet access in Barrow is always interesting. Hopefully i'll be able to get my wife's aunt on the local 128k down/64k up service.

Plan:

Jan 27: SEA->ANC->FAI
Jan 29: FAI->BRW
Feb 2-4: BRW->SCC->ANC->SEA

So apparently, part of Los Angeles is on fire. It smells like I am
sitting by a giant camp fire, and the smoke is blowing my way. Its even making our highrise in Westwood smokey INDOORS. I thought the building was on fire when i first started smelling it...must be seeping through the ventilation system

I drove around Burbanks the other day and boy was the hill red with flames...I could see the smoke towering up into the sky during work today.
