If this is Thursday, we must be in...

Our Alaska contacts extraordinaire - aka Wendy and her awesome family - have been working hard to not only ensure that we will have great venues and great audiences, but that we will have many opportunities to experience all that Alaska has to offer when we're not ringing. I don't know about anyone else, but it's been really hard to pick the one or two things I really, really want to do - it all looks amazing!! Here's how our itineray looks right now:
