The day has arrived... Our travel orders have come in! We're going to be headed to ALASKA!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!

I don't know SHIT yet, such as dates, travel, anything, but I do know this: WE'RE MOVING SOON!!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!

I've been screaming and dancing around in circles in the house with my daughter and I just HAD to share. OMGOMGOMGOMG!

It's too cold there for electricity, so you won't be able to WoW... ;D

Alaska? Damn. Good luck with that!

Maybe you can tap into the pipeline and send your fellow Massholes some of it to offset the cost of our gas prices.....

YAY!

...what time zone is that? ;)

Damn, that sounds like a real adventure! Good Luck. I hear it's a great place to live.

Congrats! I am so very jealous! I hope you can take some photos :)

I'll take all of the 'look there's a moose in the front yard' and 'omg not salmon AGAIN' pictures!

So, it looks like we'll be clearing our base by June 15th and reporting in Anchorage by July 10th. We're gonna DRIVE, woooo! And I'm looking for townhomes. OMG I'm so freaking excited.

You can't rain on me today Torrin! Yoo jes jellus!!! And you know I'm gonna make you take that ferry... you know this. You know it.

hehe he heheh ehehe hehe ehhe heheh ehheh eheh you said "Take the Fairy"

I like boats. boats good.

So I'm reading about this highway and with all of the warnings I'm kinda 'hmmm... scary'. It's gonna be in the summer so... I really don't want to take the ferry!!! Anyone here actually ever rode on the Alaska Marine Highway thingy ferry thing?

I read on the website communal baths and recliners to sleep in if you don't get a stateroom, and the staterooms for summer should be reserved in DECEMBER.

I would think the drive up will be quite a fun adventure. During the summer months is obviously the best time to go. The hwy will likely be quite busy with tourists this time of year / I know of a few people heading that way for a holiday / road-trip.

Everyone send Sherica sweaters for Christmas! :) Congrats Sherica, on the move! It should be a beautiful trip.

I have ridden the ferry from Juneau to, um, somplace. I don't remember. What I do remember is that even a short trip can take longer than most plane rides. So if you don't have a state room, you will spend a lot of time (a LOT of time) sleeping in a chair or a deck chair.

I've got kids so, stateroom is the only option. I'm not having some freak feel up my son in a communal bathroom, oh HELL no. It looks like if we can get a reservation for a stateroom, that might be the best option and my son loves the water and shit so... but if not, honey, we're ROAD TRIPPIN' IT!

Luckily, the military got their shit together during the summer so we don't have to do anything extreme to the car just yet. But it's coming, oh... it's coming.

OMG OMG OMG! I'm just over-fucking-whelmed!

Edit: The more I think about it the less I know what to do.

Grats!

Too bad Toronto isn't further west.. you could stop by on the way!


Congrats Sher!!
