I've recently departed Bolivia for Alaska. I used to have a penpal when I was a kid from Kodiak Alaska. So I chartered a private jet to fly me there.

A beautiful place (mostly in the summer, I'd guess) since it's all frozen now. Perhaps I'll stay here until Spring, and then buy a yacht and tour the region. Currently I'm in Chiniak, 40 or so miles away from Kodiak. A tiny little town, I'm finding it quite relaxing. I've had a bulldozer tearing down a whole bunch of useless trees so I can build Windermere's Inn. The restaurant here is ghastly http://p.vtourist.com/635495.jpg. The cost is quite prohibitive since it's the dead of Winter.
