Alaska Trip - post trip blue

 I ought to write something about the trip. But in some way I am still in post-trip coma or blue. There are too many photos and videos in the phone, not tagged, not even watched. In the era of wechat, facebook and twitter, it is expected to have a nice write-up with wonderful photos about the whole trip. But, I have no desire to do that at all. I don't need to tell the world that I check-listed another big place in the map. 

Alaska, it is a place mix of New Zealand, Iceland, Banff and itself. I didn't realize how close it is to us, just four and half hours away. The grand mountains, river, water and sky. 



During the whole trip, I slept very well. On the first night back, I had woke up several times trying to figure out which RV or ship I was on. I am not used to my old good bed yet.

Yes, two weeks of RV living. The first thing I am getting back to is to take longer hot water bath. And I am aware I had greasy hairs almost every day during the trip... Besides lack of hot bath opportunities, I suffered several big mosquito bites on the head! And the manuka balm was the only remedy for them. Thus, very greasy hairs on the road.


Something new learned: I didn't know Alaska produces fresh peony before! That totally explains why peony never bloomed in my garden (bought several batches already): how can bay area weather be on par with the weather in Homer or Fairbank?!
