Alaska Final Thoughts

After returning from our Alaskan adventure I have reflected upon  the trip.  First, I traveled with a great group of adventurous women who were all willing to try new things.  To give you a background of the women Joy, Stephanie, Becki, and I all work together at ASU while Lisa, Carin, Joy and I all attended Clemson together studying parks, recreation, and tourism.  We experienced a wide array of traveling experiences, different ways of doing things, and were able to laugh at each other.  Although the wilderness experience was the purpose and highlight of the trip; the stories, laughter, and friendships made it unforgettable!  I thought I would share a few quotes from the trip that kept us laughing!
