But I don't want to just "go" to Alaska and do the tourist-y sightseeing trip for 10 days then fly out of Anchorage.
Nope. I wanna really GO TO ALASKA. I would so love to move to Alaska for at least 6 months, a year if I get even luckier, and experience that incredible jaw-droppingly beautiful state. How great would it be to live out in some remote cabin with only an outhouse and local wildlife to keep you entertained? Okay, maybe not so much fun to others but I would love to give it a try.
