This week I have been in email contact with me preceptor for Alaska. It makes the trip more exciting and less daunting now. The fun activities will start right away; January 15th Bethel is hosting a qualifying sled dog race for the iditarod. According to my preceptor I should be able to meet some of the racers and their dogs.
My preceptor was very helpful in giving me information to make sure I pack appropriately: "There's no guarantee on the temp up here- we went from -15 ambient temperatures last week to +40 today. Windproof gear is key. ...Leave anything fashionable at home- trendy jackets will do you no good here...heels are a joke"
I think I like her humor. I will have more info on a phone number and address soon for anyone wishing to send care packages or to chat.
I'm going to start charging batteries now for all the pictures that will have to follow. But for today, after a lazy mornign in bed, it's time to clean and pack a little.
