Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
To my TripAdvisor forum friends: while I may not live in Alaska any longer, it will always be in my heart. It is a pleasure to still post and enjoy your online presence. I hope you all are having a wonderful winter season…wishing you all the best today and for the new year ahead!
Thank you for your warm wishes! Alaska has a way of leaving a lasting impression on everyone who experiences its vast wilderness, vibrant wildlife, and unique culture. Even if you no longer live there, the memories and the spirit of the state remain close to your heart.
To everyone celebrating the season, here are some thoughts and ideas to make the most of this festive time:
- Enjoy winter activities, whether it’s a cozy cabin stay, watching the Northern Lights, or exploring snowy trails for cross-country skiing or snowshoeing.
- Reflect on your favorite memories from Alaska, perhaps sharing stories or photos with friends and family to relive those special moments.
- Plan small gatherings or virtual meet-ups with fellow travel enthusiasts to exchange travel tips and reminisce about past adventures.
For the New Year, it’s a wonderful time to set new travel goals, plan future trips to Alaska or other destinations, and continue exploring the world with curiosity and joy.
- Consider creating a “bucket list” for Alaska adventures you still hope to do, like visiting remote wilderness lodges or experiencing unique wildlife tours.
- Keep in touch with the TripAdvisor community to exchange tips and keep the excitement of travel alive.
- Take time to enjoy local winter festivities, cultural events, or even indoor activities that capture the essence of Alaskan winter life.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas filled with warmth and a New Year brimming with exciting journeys, memorable experiences, and continued connections with the beauty of Alaska and beyond!
