That fabulous ad had me til near the end when it showed the happiness next to the campfire in the dark. LOLno. At least not during camping season.

I had family who had a summer place in Ninilchik on the Kenai Peninsula. My husband and I went up there every other summer so he could fish (my cousin had a captain’s license and fishing boat) and I could go adventuring. Perfect separate vacations together.

Before our first trip, as my aunt kept selling it, every night was a campfire, grilled fish, Bailey’s and coffee. I had such delightful images. What I didn’t anticipate was that it never got dark. Not even dusk until 2 or 3am. It. Just. Isn’t. The. Same. And it’s so weird for most of us. Disorienting. Exhausting even.

But if you can get to Alaska, go there. It is beyond description. Every view breathtaking. Every moment, pure magic.
