Comment on Even You Could be an Alaska Tour Guide by Colleen Easley

Hi David – yes I do have a suggestion. You could sign up for one of our tours without a cruise. I recommend you take the 15 day Kennicott/Cordova/Arctic Circle tour. In fact it is offered with a cruise or as a Land Tour only. As I write this there are only 9 spots left for this tour in 2009 or you could wait until 2010.

Hi, Colleen! I enjoyed your story and still think back to that great trip in September 2007. By the way, I now have a GPS logger and don’t have to pester the driver about where we are all the time.

I’m wanting to do another trip to the far north some day, but I would rather not have to duplicate the cruise part of a tour since I’ve already done it once. I’d rather use that time to see more of the land package. Any suggestions?

colleen,
I really enjoyed and appreciated your story. I’m an undergraduate senior and I drive campus buses part-time. Not particularly excited to get a “normal job” with my economics degree, I’m seriously looking into an experience like this for a year or two once I graduate next May. Thanks for the great detail and recommendations.

You’re right – the Falls Terrace http://www.fallsterrace.com/ is right next to Tumwater Falls. I’m not sure where Klawock is, but I spend my whole summer working as a tour guide in Alaska, so I know it’s not on the highway system.

I liked your story. Hope to visit Alaska one day from New York. If you have friends in New York interested in CPR have them look at our website. Will be glad to help them out.

Comment on Catalog Choice – Good For You and the Environment! by Carly

Great post on Catalog Choice.

I wanted to give you a heads-up on another great Web site that I thought your readers would find interesting and help them de-clutter their mailboxes and simplify their lives.

Its called ProQuo.com, a free, easy-to-use site that gives you the ability to remove yourself from the most commonly used marketing lists in a matter of minutes!

Who knew that Americans receive nearly four million tons of junk mail each year and the average consumer can be on thousands of marketing mailing lists at any time? We are flooded with unwanted advertisements, credit card offers and political propaganda, which can bury the mail we are looking for…not to mention create a drain on the environment.

Take care,

Hi Colleen and Dale, Just read your article about woofing – nice description of what it is and its advantages for green, inexpensive travel. We have enjoyed both of our stays. The one we are currently in the middle of is in Marlborough Sound on a remote island much like our Stuart Island in the San Juans. Here they grow paua, which at home we call abalone. The paua is grown in tanks with water circulating. They actually sell most of their “fish”(as they call them) before they get to harvestable size. These are used to seed fishermen’s areas. They also have a big garden, some sheep and some cows. Other than dairy they are nearly self-sufficient in food production, though with three young children, they must make regular visits to the supermarket in Picton (about 10 miles up Tory Straits.) Once we finish our week long stint here we will head to the North Island for three weeks to meet many of Tina’s family friends (she was actually born in NZ) and to do some hiking. We will then be heading back to the US (our trip is actually only 5 months) where we will be getting our first feel of winter this year. Hopefully we will see you sometime this spring, but since our house is rented until at least the end of August, we haven’t made any firm plans.

Comment on Could You Market an Outhouse? by Diane

Diane — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 23:00:07 +0000

Wow! I remember my gran and grandad’s outhouse! They were still using it as far as I know until about 1976 when the council installed a proper bathroom at their house.

Perhaps one day we’ll all have them again as the slow decline from this truley decadent society happens!
