I knew this question was coming 😉

Do you plan to stay in Alaska all year? If so, why, if not, why not and where will you go?

My travel schedule is not set in stone, but I have been playing with some ideas. I am currently on week two of being down in the Lower 48 and currently in Las Vegas for CES. From here I head to San Francisco for a week for my friend Robert Scoble’s 50th birthday party.

Not sure when I will head back to Alaska, but sometime in January. I wrote Did I Just Break-up With Alaska? on Christmas and at that moment I wasn’t certain if I was going back anytime soon. But I am. I want to see the Iditarod in March and do more of these winter sports I keep hearing about.

Then in April, I want to go to Europe for the very first time. There is a travel conference called TBEX in Spain that I have my eye on. Well, if I am there, might as well check it all out. Right? One of my good friends is moving to the Netherlands and I want to head over and see her. I plan on being in Europe for April and May at this point. No idea yet where I will go, how I will get there or where I will stay. Typical, right?

I will then go back to Alaska and spend most of the summer there. I have a trip to New York in July already planned. At this point I will have to decide if I am staying in Alaska or heading back to San Francisco to make a home. I am ready to have a home again. More than ready, honestly. I still want a place that can be my hub and that I can fly out of. One downfall of Alaska is just how expensive air travel is out of there.

I know I will be back in Arizona during the fall as I want to see my nephew play football in his senior year.

So there it is – my travel plans for 2015. I still have a lot of Alaska to explore and see – I am definitely not done there. I love it there. But I need to make sure I am going home more as this last time was just too long to be away from friends and family.
