I've had good luck two out of three times but that three time...let's just say I will avoid setting next to her again. <br /><br />We always wanted to go to Alaska. I'm glad you are enjoying the trip. Maybe some day I'll get that brave.

Now I have to drive all the time (and the state police frown on me crocheting and driving). I'm in Alaska now on a trip that includes bus and train rides - I'll just imagine that my husband is by my side.Grannie Frannie Runshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16320045525378931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-81364246824107335312013-09-14T20:48:03.875-04:002013-09-14T20:48:03.875-04:00I'm kind of a control freak, too, and signing ...I'm kind of a control freak, too, and signing up for the mystery trip was an exercise of letting go for me.

We see each other from time to time in passing and play games in competition between buses by cell phones.

It was real nice. I had to laugh a bit about getting into a snow storm--over there on the sunset side of the State, you do get quite a bit.
