I'll come clean. I have eaten Moose before. In Swedish Lappland. And whilst it was ohhhhhkay I can't say I'm a fan - in fact I prefer my Moose in this version. In the wild, minding their own Moose business, levelling slightly disconcerting stares (or is it a Moose glare I wonder?) at the irritatingly …
Alaskan Days, musings on America and an Iditarod Insight.
It’s raining on a Thursday afternoon in summer time Denali National Park. Holed up in our cabin I am forced to turn to other things to occupy my time. Now is a good time for a more than just a travel blog post. Which is in this post as well don’t worry but I’ve been …

Motel memoirs, legendary lakes and a dinner at Jake’s Famous Crawfish of Portland.
I've decided to really pay more attention to the motels we're staying in because I think it will be a neat idea later on to chronicle the places we stay over our six month journey in one massive post.

And yet here I am still persisting with my own little first impressions...let's see, In Vegas the drinks are all hours, all day, all types and all together too cheap, the hotels are plentiful (one could even say excessively so) and …

THREE DAYS!!! Part Three
So in conclusion of the last three days - Nerd HQ Panel with Jared Padalecki (the guy who plays Sam Winchester on TV's Supernatural) and then off to Washington and Mount Rainier National Park. The Jared Panel was great - I'd been lucky and managed to nab early tickets so we ended up in Row …
