So what better prep is there than to go shopping. Even though shopping isn't my passion, having the right "stuff" does help to make one feel a bit more prepared. (perhaps sitting long enough to read would be a good preparation activity and cheaper) So REI has everything one could want and with Don giving me a gift card for my birthday last March, I was ready... except...... couldn't find the card. Made my purchases at the REI nearest my home. Went home and searched. No luck. Next day, downtown to the BIG REI and asked them to lock the card and put an inquiry on it. Home again and wala.... the card falls out of my Alaska documents. Sometimes my organization amazes me. So then, return all items and then repurchase with the card. I had a great clerk who liked a great challenge and she said my transaction made her day.
Hopefully my adventures in Alaska, will be a little less frustrating than my REI adventure.
