I’m thinking about going to Alaska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who goes to Alaska in February? This is the time of year even Alaskans try to escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, my mom, for starters. And my brother. They’re both moving back to Alaska and decided to caravan together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will we make it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
