I had always wanted to go and visit Alaska... maybe someday...
We went there when I was six weeks old, so my memories are not what I would like them to be. We came back when I was five, and I’ve never been able to go back.
After my dad died and I was married, my mother, younger sister, older sister and her husband went back and the older sister stayed for 30+ years. Younger sister married and later and he was stationed at Anchorage.
