5/20/25 Fairbanks Alaska

Woke up at 4am to this amgazing view outside

Here are the birds my merlin app captured

Joined a local wild life tour today to go to the artic circle

First stop is the great Alaska pipeline that ran vertically through Alaska…. It’s majestic

The drive to the artic circle sign is 5 hours…. Beautiful sceneries every where but desolate…the drive on mostly empty dirt road with few cars and people and no cell service…. But nature put out a show for us….

We did Antarctica 3 years ago and did Artic  today!!
.. And got a certificate for it..

Our Guide /Driver Kevin whose main job is a Marine biologist is very knowledgeable and can talk straight through the 5 hour drive there dispensing tons of valuable info

Arrived back at our hotel almost 9pm.. A total 14 hour tour…. Amazing!!!

5/19/25 Alaska here we come

We left our home at 3:20 am to catch a 6 am flight from LA to Seattle and then change flight to Fairbanks Alaska…. We did the alaska cruise 15 years ago, this time it’s the land and sea cruise and we are very excited about checking out the land part, especially the national parks of Alaska

Fun fact!! Fairbanks airport has a water airstrip….
Too bad.  we did not get to see aurora borealis this time of the year

Love the very unique and cozy airbnb, a time capsule for us to relax and reminiscing about yesterday years… Today the sun is going to set at 12 am and come back up tomorrow at 4pm 🤣🤣, the sun here works extra hard….

Airbnb left all these alaska goodies for us to enjoy…. Happy hour await!!

Fun fact!! There’s no sales tax in Alaska!! Woohoo…. Only 5% tax on alcohol…
