Last Frontier
Posted Oct 17, 2000
We landed in the small town of Fairbanks,Alaska. After an icy landing I slipped off the steps of the small passenger plane. I wasn't prepared for the chill wind that hit me like a ton of bricks. I rushed into the terminal of the Fairbanks International Airport to be met by sweet, sweet central heating. After pulling my things together I set off to find a decent restaurant.
A good two miles from the airport I found a large shopping center called the Shoppers Forum Mall. I hopped inside and soon found a cozy little cafe. After ordering a cup of coffee I sat back and pulled out my map. I quickly decided that it was too early to decide on anything, which didn't really make much sense, so I just sat back and waited for that cup of joe.
I spent the night in a small motel and ventured out the next morning to see what could be done. Over the river and six or seven miles heading north on Farmer's Loop road I came to the Sled Dog Racing grounds. Those dogs were some of the most beautiful and gracefull that I have seen in my life. I made more than a few friends there and I met some of the people too.
I have spent the past few days exploring and getting ready for my departure but I have not yet decided on my next destination, I have a few choices. I think I will stay here a small while longer.

Tip of the Iceberg
Posted Oct 12, 2000
I started my journey around the world off cold, clammy and hungry. My first stop was a small californian town called Santa Maria. It was raining and I stepped off the plane directly into a deep puddle of muddy water. After drying myself off with my trusty blue towel I reached the terminal only to find that the plane I was to transfer to had yet to arrive and wasn't expected for a good many hours.
I decided to make the best of the situation so I meandered my way over to the airport bar. It was filled with a good many raging alchoholics who had obviously been in town to long. After a few drinks and a few to many games of pool, the drunks deppressing attitudes had started to get me down. I slipped out and carrying my coat I was about to step outside for a smoke when a soft voice came over the loudspeaker. It spouted off a good many delays and then proceeded to inform me that Flight 343 , the one I was to board, had landed and was preparing to take off. I quickly snapped up my backpack and rushed through the terminal to the boarding ramp.
I made it by the skin of my nose and was able to obtain a nice window seat in coach from which I am writing this article. I am currently headed for the great U.S. state of Alaska. I hope to make another entry soon.
