PLAN AHEAD

From mid-October till mid-November next year’s vacation choice list makes its rounds through the office. Choose the time for your vacation for next year. Well, gee whiz, The Kodiak Perspective is just not that organized.

Living in Kodiak has changed the way The Kodiak Perspective thinks about vacation. While living in the lower 48, it was easy to get anywhere, it is all on the road system. Kodiak is technically on the road system when you include the Alaska Marine Highway, but distances make auto travel a limiting choice. The Kodiak Perspective has spent his time here on Kodiak without a car, for over 8 years now.

Being forced to fly opens up many more destinations. In 2007 The Kodiak Perspective flew to Rio de Janeiro and cruised to Africa and Europe. So where in the world would you go?

The Kodiak Perspective has noticed that many islanders like to travel to other islands. Strange. The Kodiak Perspective is also fascinated by an island destination, Guernsey, one of the channel islands between England and France. It is the location of his favorite book.
