We went on a mountain biking tour out of Puerto Vallarta. Our guide showed up with a gold AK-47 charm on his necklace. I thought "Oh dear God, I'm never going to make it home again." He turned out to be a knowledgeable and hilarious guide.<br /><br />These days, I'm not much of a traveler. (Hence, the Pasture Deficit Disorder - it's what I suffer from any time I have to leave our beloved Pasture.) I am currently obsessed all things Alaska though. I would love, Love, LOVE to travel there - but really spend some time there, not just a glossy highlights tour. Because of my Alaska obsession, I really enjoy every mystery book I can find that is set in Alaska. I've had your Thin Ice on my to read list for a month and a half already! Can't wait to read it.Pasture Deficit Disorderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600147172316923143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-90894334850937512672019-11-14T12:14:16.172-05:002019-11-14T12:14:16.172-05:00Alaska has been on our list of places to visit for...Alaska has been on our list of places to visit for a long time! Interesting travel options? Frank won a trip to Puerto Vallarta years ago. We took a couple of side trips while there. One was a village/jungle/beach excursion with seating in the back of a Mercedes diesel truck. Sounds terrible but it was a lot of fun. On the same trip we flew in an old plane that held maybe a dozen passengers with the narrowest center aisle you've ever seen. The pilot could fly daylight hours only. We flew over the mountain and landed in a cow pasture. We spent the day in a village that was almost completely self sufficient. I think rice was the only thing they couldn't grown there. It was fun and I'd do it again! In India our tour group got to try all kinds of transport: pedi-cabs, buses, trains, local planes, open boats on the Ganges, and my favorite-elephants. We visited a fort on a hill. The approach was a long ramp parallel to the fort, a 180 degree turn onto another long ramp, followed by a third. We rode elephants up and rode Jeeps down. One of my favorite memories.Pat Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732230586783432052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-15168883695476981392019-11-14T11:28:23.222-05:002019-11-14T11:28:23.222-05:00I love how you can so seamlessly work in my new ti...I love how you can so seamlessly work in my new title.

I remember your other novels too. Your travels to Alaska sounds wonderful! I meant to ask if Alaska has recovered from the oil spills?

My husband has been there many times, between hunting and fishing trips, and working on a National Geographic project for three summers in a row. We keep talking about a driving trip from sea to shining sea across the top part of the continent, from the Maritimes to Alaska. <br /><br />I've had a couple interesting travel conveyance experiences: Sleeping on a 20-person boat in the Galapagos for four nights (and being seasick about half the time); a tuk-tuk in Urubumba, Peru, holding on for dear life; and practically living in a Land Rover for 12 days of safari in Tanzania. The dust was incredible there. At one point I realized we had reached the point of equanimity, with as much dust inside our bodies as outside. <br /><br />I'd very much like to try traveling in a motorhome, a small one that can be parked on a city street.
