Alaska here we come.. well Seattle first..

I now solidly connote travel with work. No one ever tells you that when you travel for work it kind of takes the fun out of all traveling. I think the main damn reason is the packing and unpacking. gosh how I utterly dread it and loathe it. If I could leave all luggage to be folded and hung back in its proper place by birds and mice, like in an enchanting Disney movie, now THAT would be magical.
