I have always wanted to go to Alaska, I was very near going there for a job when they put the pipeline in (now does that give away my age,lol), and now after NZ's pics it sure would be nice to somehow visit there. And the months from October to April are perfect. Although October and April are usually mild here that is the begining/ending of the more bad weather months where I live, especially late November through early March. Thanks to you guys for posting the beautiful pics.
