YOLO! Bill & Maureen's Great Adventures

  Heading To Denali  ( these photos are in google photos,  If it asks you to open Google Photos, look for “Continue in browser” or “Open in Safari.”) Trying to create a blog with poor cell service is trying.  Since I’m on vacation, i figured out a way to minimize my frustration!   Pictures will be found in the above link.   Before heading on a bus to Denali, we had a lovely cruise on the Chenin river.  We learned alot about dog mushing.  These 🐕 are amazing; smart, cute, fast, and entertaining just like me!  Haha!  We loved the fact that a woman won the Iditarod FOUR 4️⃣ times with a lead 🐕 named, Gratitude.  Everyone told her she couldn't win as a woman and that her lead dog was not cut out for it.  Hmmmm…guess she proved her critics wrong!  Never underestimate the power of a determined woman!   We also made a stop where we learned all about smoking salmon, how indigenous people survive the brutal, brutal winters...

  I’m envious that my husband can sleep 💤 anywhere anytime. Flight ✈️ from Seattle to Alaska.  It amazes me that men sleep with their hands in their crotch.  Do they think someone is going to steal it?  W e arrived and are no worse for the wear.  Crazy that it’s nearly 9:30pm and still so light out. I wear my sunglasses at night….  Fairbanks makes Bangor look like a happenin’ place. We were starving when we arrived so we hurried to the pub to grab a bite.  Peeps are super friendly but the 70’s called and they want their decor back.  And, i think my french dip could have been Rudolph; just sayin.   Woke up early the next day to get my work out 🏋️ in   I have to laugh-when i travel, I get the most out of my clothes   I wore these yesterday and now I’m working out in them and will retire them until they see soap and water! Headed out on foot to check out the “downtown”   First stop fairbanks visitor center and museum. Y ou proba...

The Pink Door restaurant was divine dahling   All kidding aside, it was simply amazing despite being a tourist trap   The location was perfect, the service stellar and the food Michelin worthy   How non-descript is this restaurant door? Arancini.  My mouth is watering not from aging but from this appetizer.  The red sauce had  Calabrian chili oil that was sick! T he lasagna was the most delicious yet unusual lasagna ever.  It had spinach noodles with pesto and ricotta.  It was the creamiest deliciousness I’ve ever tasted.  She may not look like much but she’s a perfect 10!  My caprese salad had the most ripe juicy tomatoes ever. I could kiss the gardener.  My very handsome date.  Why he’s with me always ceases to amaze me but I digress.   I work out. 🏋️. I’m sexy and i know it. (Did anyone sing this as they read it?) We went into a store that was all purple.  Every. Single.  Thing.  I bought a flannel shirt...
