Travels With Stacey

The third day of this trip will be the farthest west my wife has travelled. For me, I have been to Winnipeg decades ago, so we need to wait a couple more days for me to be the farthest ever. Today's plan:

On our fourth day, as we travel towards Alaska, we visit the capital of Manitoba.  There is a lot to do in this city, and it will probably become part of greater explorations in the future. The plans: Manitoba Legislative Building tour Winnipeg Art Gallery…

Today is the fifth day of our drive to Alaska.  We are still in the Winnipeg area, and we love churches.  We will be trying to enter some of the more notable ones today and will be making our way to Saskatchewan. Itinerary for today:…

Today is Day 11 of our trek to see Alaska.  Not many stops, but probably the most important (and nerve-wracking) day so far.  I know of only one gas station, and it is a long dirt road.  I do have extra gas cans, just in…

We finished what was the most stressful part of our journey - a long drive in the middle of nowhere with no gas stations for hundreds of kilometres.  Now, we are starting to get into the mountains and getting close to reaching our destination of…
