Re: On the road again ...
 
joto, I have a new copy of The Milepost which gives detailed information on the roads, stops, restaurants and motels/hotels along the highway. It really is the best resource out there.
Steerpike, we are heading towards retirement so although hubby has a new job lined up it will hopefully be only part time so we can stop a while and smell the roses and spend some time relaxing.
34 days and counting !

Who would choose Alaska as a retirement destination? :D

You would be surprised ... no state tax, those who are 65 or older get a tax break on the first $150,000 of their property taxes, subsidised heating, PFD. We see quite a few folks who choose to live out their days here however I'm not one of them, mother nature decided to surprise us with an April snowfall, 12 inches since Saturday and another 12-18 before tomorrow morning :\

Plus they get a tax refund at the end of each year from oil royalties.
