I love your Alaska origin story. I came to Alaska in a similar way. I got drunk with friends in Florida and we said “Let’s move to Alaska!” When they sobered up, Mark and Mo actually moved. I joined them six months later in 1979. Then in 1980 I wasn’t sure if I wanted to stay and left for four months. The travel agent who sold me my one-way ticket said, “You’ll be back.” Alaska is like a big bungee cord. If you’re still attached, it snaps you home.

When I read your comment a few weeks ago, that last sentence instantly made me cry. I can’t explain why, I think I just miss it so much. And I truly believe that, too. It does snap you back. ❤️
