Off to the Great Northwest

Posting will be less frequent after today as I will be vacationing and a little business-ing in Alaska(!) -- Denali, Anchorage, Seward, Kenai, Homer, and whichever little harbor towns in between -- and Seattle(!) until 8/19. If I can find internet, I might post some photos.

My goal is to find an opportunity to use my favorite-word-that-doesn't-actually-exist, Meese (pl. Moose), and also to not step between a baby bear and his/her mother.

This will be my first experience couch surfing. After I get back, I will post about my experiences and my theories about couch surfing in general, but after speaking with my hosts I already have a very positive feeling about it.
