It's Not An Adventure Until Something Goes Wrong: Exit Strategy: Adventure

Exit Strategy: Adventure

When the school year ends on May 16th I can only imagine the amount of wanderlust that will be filling our veins, so in order to keep ourselves sane, we've planned our next adventure (and bought the tickets).

First, we will fly out of Pilot on May 20th-ish (those tickets aren't bought yet) to Anchorage.

While in Anchorage we will adventure around, visiting Todd's cabin near Denali, and visiting the cities near Anchorage like Girdwood and Palmer... That part isn't completely hashed out yet, but that's sort of how we roll.

But THEN on June 2nd we board the Kennicott on the Alaska Marine Highway-

Whittier > Yakutat > Juneau > Ketchikan > Bellingham

Weeee! I'm so incredibly excited! It doesn't hurt that I've always wanted to visit Southeast Alaska, and we get to stop in some amazing towns along the way! I'm sure the views won't be terrible either... Here's a google image looky-loo...

Long story short, we will be back in Oregon on June 7th!

I am McKenzie Perry. I started this blog as a first year teacher in Pilot Station, Alaska. I was looking for adventure, and that's what I got. It was a wonderful experience, but I soon realized that wanderlust doesn't go away once you've moved somewhere amazing. I returned home to my amazing hometown of Florence Oregon, taught a year at Mapleton Elementary, and then got a job teaching 6th grade science at Siuslaw Middle School. The morning of the first day of school I went in to get my blood drawn because I was feeling a bit off, some bruising and fatigue, but nothing crazy. By the end of the day (September 9th, 2015) I had been diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. I spent 22 days at OHSU getting treatment, and now will be getting intense outpatient treatment for 8+ months, and then will continue on the journey from there!
