Juneau

Having procrastinated all manner of packing until the day before my flight, I can be found on this 9th day of June running around like a headless duck (why let chickens have all the fun?) hastening to compile the necessary supplies for my Alaska excursion.

Alas, the "procrastinate" part of my nature is somewhat unfortunate for a venture of such magnitude. Yesterday my all-knowing father (the "all knowing" may be redundant as I have recently come to the realization that once you become a dad you automatically know everything) mentioned that it might be rainy in Juneau, something my Colorado-tuned cerebrum hadn't even considered. I looked it up, and yes, Juneau averages 90 inches of moisture each year (compared to a paltry 14 inches for Fort Collins). Thankfully, the driest months are June, July and August, so hopefully my trusty, although no longer fully waterproof, orange jacket will see me through.

I very dearly hope to update the blog after staff training, which produced enough material for a small novel last time, but I may not be able to find the time. I will surely post several entries from AK at different intervals at the very least.

Wish me luck, and may adventure find you!!
