The Ins and Outs

I'm sure many have been curious about how I can do all that I get to in Alaska.. Generally money is a huge thing for the adventures we do.. Well, here's the in of the coolness of being able to work for Experience Alaska Adventures... As you all know crab feast and the boat tours that we do are for those who come in off the cruise ships. Locals and others can come enjoy it too but it does cost a bit much to do as do other things like zip lining, adventure karts and float plane tours.. BUT because we are employees we get to do ALLLLLL OF IT for free!!!! :D Kind of funny that that was never mentioned when I got the job. It was a surprise when we all got here so no money has been spent doing the fun I do. We have our own kayak to use to so that long kayak (8 miles) I did? that was after work just at the Inlet. We get to fish and do all that stuff FOR FREE! :) No need to go out and spend money when you can hike run and explore for free :)

So if you wanna work up here it is a great way to save. We don't pay rent, we have toilet paper, laundry soap, dish soap, internet, tv and all that at our disposal for free! Also despite how much food is up here (ugh, expensive! Missing Utah prices) we get lucky when everyone likes to share their daily catch of fish, shrimp or whatever they are making... Hoping bills will get paid with the saving of money over the summer :D

Today was definitely a Monday tho... haha... busy of course and just our routine. My next day off will be Wednesday. So ready for it been about a week since my last full off day. Going to go try the Adventure Karts.. never done them yet! But they look fun! Gotta love free fun. It is the best!! We get salmon berries around the road here.. they are a little more tart than raspberries but they are delicious! Think berry picking is in the works too! ....
 The 4th is the busiest day for us.. 6 ships in town so no one will have the day off but it should be good for us! Loving it!  Happy 4th for everyone!!
Here is a lovely sunset.. picture taken by my lovely friend, Adriana! This is 9:45 at night.. We get later sunsets here as you can imagine... it is 9:30 here now and light as can be!!!
