If you are of a certain age you will have sung the title of the blog! 😉
We left Yellowknife and got to see some of our favourite people… sorry Cindy and Stephen we forgot to get photos of you but we had a lovely visit!
After our short visit we started our trip to Fairbanks.
We kept ourselves busy with drawing, snoozing and part of a movie!
The first place Judy took me to visit is North Pole Alaska. And look who dropped in! Santa and I had a lovely visit. He has recuperated from his very busy December. He tells me that the elves have begun to prepare for next Christmas. 🙂
The plane was full. I had a young man who is participating in Ian’s Youth Ambassador Program and a woman named Jane Lubchenco. I asked why she was going to Fairbanks and she said she was lecturing at the University including a public lecture. So I went last night. Dr. Lubchenco lead NOAA in Washington for the first term of President Obama’s tenor. It was a perfect end of day one in Fairbanks.
The Games start on Sunday! So I have a couple of days to get my bearings around Fairbanks.
11 comments left until I send out the next set of cards! Will it be you? I hope so. See you soon.
I am looking forward to your updates. Give a cheer for my nephew Jack as he competes in the biathlon.

Hola Patty. It would be fun to send you a set of cards…good luck! Enjoy the sunshine for me. We are at 5c here…which isn’t too bad just makes everything slippery

I enjoyed your post Shawna. Looks like you’re having an exciting time of it! What a contrast of temperatures you will find when you arrive in Australia! Thankfully though, things are beginning to cool down a little now.
Happy travelling!
