Alaska- loved and discovered




I Loved- my new friends with the Anne connection,watching the glacier's splashing and crashing delights, the inspiring beauty, lobster tail surf'n'turf yum yum yum, waking up to quiet, surprise views out the window, eavesdropping on interesting conversations-sshhh, You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me Lucille, band aids on the floor moments, missing my family as absence really does make the heart grow fonder, grande cappuccinos- what is 8 ounces?, walking down the left side of corridors saying sorry I'm Australian, wondering why I was getting funny looks when I spoke-do you know what buggered means?, magnetic dining- how did I end up sitting with people I have never meet before eating this wonderful food, Yikes!!! there is a monkey in my room and an elephant, Nordstroms and every US shop I walked into, my new Fendi handbag :) I still cannot believe I own it, lastly I loved being me and only me for a week.




I Discovered- international airports aren't that scary, being an author is not about writing a book, heat waves happen in Alaska too, others can say love, heal, the right space and journey lots, I need to speak up if I ever want to get an upgrade- 15 year olds in first class how ridiculous, you never know who you are going to meet, family are always on the edge of your thoughts no matter how much fun you are having, the US has a huge population and you have to line up for everything, everyone has a story to tell, when travelling on your own you are more likely to be searched at check points, and I discovered there is nothing like seeing your bless-ed family again when you get home.
