Neither. Put together a custom trip to get background for YA novel I've been stuck on. I lost my baby sister last year to cancer, three days before our shared birthday. The only way I could make her immortal was to make her the main protagonist for a book, and she did live to see the first four chapters.Burnaby49 wrote:Seattle cruise?

But I could tell I was going wrong, and google earth, while helpful, could only take me so far. So I booked a trip touring the areas I needed for the book, and incidentally had a wonderful time as well. I was supposed to travel with a companion due to my disabilities, and said companion ended up in the hospital with emergency surgery. (I drove her to the hospital, so who's the gimp now?!?) I've picked up a lot of background, seen moose and bear and caribou and learned a great deal about them, and now I'll probably not be commenting too much because I'm locking myself up in Rewrite Hell with the cats for the next month. The spouse is running interference to let me have the time to concentrate.
This one's important to me.
edit to add p.s. If you ever travel the railroad between Anchorage and Fairbanks, it is totally worth it to go with the gold star (first class) service.
