looks like you had a great time!

aside from the fish photos i really liked your pics!

hope you got a tan! ;)
Our first day there we went for a walk for around 45 minutes. My Mrs. was wearing a tank top and she burned pretty good in that short amount of time (and she's naturally dark complected).
We quickly learned to RESPECT the sun and lived in SPF 50 for the first 3 or 4 days.

I did swim a couple of times when we were trolling - both to cool off and to get rid of excess beer. : }
Spearfishing was on the agenda - but didn't happen, next time though !

Yes, we definitely have a new IRL friend that we fully expect to host in August when the salmon are running.
We will do our damnedest to show him the time of his life in Alaska !

Layovers were Anchorage, Seattle, LA, San Jose C.R. with our final flight to the small town we stayed in.
SPF 50 was a life saver - I'd look like an over toasted bagel without it.

Yeah, I can do no wrong ATM with momma. :wink:

an alaskan at the equator?
i bet you got one hell of a tan. hopefully no ringworm though. :bigjoint:
No ringworm thank God, but the tan looks pretty bitching !

best house guests anyone could hope for. can't wait to get them back down here next year and alaska for me in august.
got some crazy underwater footage with the GoPro cameras. i'll post a video here in a few days.
I'll put some King Salmon & Halibut on standby for you bro - we do that for friends here.
And can't wait to see the Go-pro vid's, I know they will rock !
The little woman and I thank you again, it was literally a honeymoon we had never taken (damn kids !).
