Travel Plans: Alaska

When you’ve spent the last week being sick as a dog and just wanting to get out of the house; a high fever will sometimes cause you to drift off into many different worlds without even leaving the bed. For the last three days I’ve dreamed of being handed a lifetime supply of vouchers for plane tickets and from there I’ve had to decide just where I’d like to go.

Sure, I could hop on a plane and fix my cold by sitting on the beaches in Aruba but it’s also summer and I don’t like heat enough to be down there for that. With a fever it would just double my discomfort. I could always look into one of the northern most tips of Alaska because I know it can be pretty cold there year round, based on things that I’ve read at least. Considering I’ve been hanging out in the air conditioning for the last few days, this really wouldn’t be much different to me.

I’ve been watching that show Men in Tree’s a lot recently. I’m not sure exactly what it is about the show, other than the actual setting itself, but I’m drawn to Alaska, I always have been. This is because of my love for all things cold. I look at it this way, honestly. You can’t prepare for heat because there’s no possible way to take your skin off when you’re just too uncomfortable for words. You CAN prepare for cold because it’s always going to be easier to get warm than it would be to get cold. Because of this, when I happen to come into my millions over time, my house will be climate controlled and it will be 50-55¬?F on a year round basis.

Boy, that would be nice.
