A great way to escape the city by getting above it and surrounding yourself with plants.
Bungee jumping and Scotland, both adventures worth having, both good for the soul, better together.

Word of the Week
Craic: (kræk) noun. 1. Word used in Ireland (& Scotland according to a Scottish lad I met) to mean “fun” usually to describe a good time.
“We had some good craic at the wedding. The wedding was good craic.”
Side Note: Not at all related to crack-cocaine.
Motion sick human speaking…you don’t have to stop traveling just because it makes you feel like garbage…try a few changes to your travel and see if you can still make it work!
A little about my hiatus, what I’ve been up to, and where I’m headed next!
Word of the Week
Rack: (rak) noun. 1. A case of pop.
Side note: I often think of rack as a word that should pertain to something alcoholic, like a flight, when not pertaining to deer. (Or the stories I’ve heard about ‘running the rack’…), so when my students say something about someone buying them a rack, I always need to pause and remind myself of where I am.
Side note: I thought someone was teasing me because I was from Minnesota and we say ‘pop’, by offering me a pop…so I said “Sure, I’ll take a soda”…to later realize that in Alaska, they do indeed use ‘pop’. Home Sweet Home.
Word of the Week
Tupak (tü•puk) verb. 1. Inupiaq word that translates to the verb startle.
Side Note: Similar to katak, the verb doesn’t really have conjugations. “One time, I tupak my mom. You really tupak, eh? The dog make me tupak.”
Homesickness is a constant state of my being.
