After having to explain this concept to several people, I realized that I may need to back up a step. Yes, you can drive to Alaska. It is connected to Canada (you know, that big country above us?) I realize that some people may be a bit confused, as Alaska sometimes appears as an island near Hawaii on many maps. Trust me, Alaska is not an island, it is not tropical, and it is most definitely attached to North America. This is the route we plan to take:

That's about a 45 minute to one hour drive from Anchorage. As you can see, that's not too far north, so I will not be living in complete darkness, nor will it be below zero year round.
But you will be living with polar bears and keeping penguins like chickens, right? Right?!?!
ReplyDeleteWell the polar bears will get their own igloo so they don't keep us up at night.
