We are go for Alaska!

I want to do all this planning and prep work for it, but there isn't much else to be done right now. Buy a copy of the Milepost once this year's edition comes out next month. Keep adding to my packing list as I think of things. Obsessively go over possible activities and weigh their different costs (in money and time) against each other. Keep an eye out on ebay for a cheap GPS unit for my cellphone/PDA. Try to arrange to borrow a laptop so we have a chance of not getting bored with our music selection after two weeks.

Maybe I'll go buy some maps and work on memorizing them. That would feel useful.
