North to Alaska

My flight is booked...my wardrobe is lacking the type of clothing/shoes I will need...and I've never left my girls before but I am going to Alaska:) I leave Feb. 6 and return Feb. 15. I'm so excited but sad at the same time because I know that will be the last time I will see Shane for a while, and considering he is going to Afghanistan, may be the last time I ever see him. (I however, pray this is not the case). We have some big things planned, one being http://www.snowtours.net/winter.html, Alaska Aces games and who knows what else. I do have to go shopping for a new wardrobe because all of us know that in SC, we really have no need for "snow" or really cold weather clothing. I do pray it warms up in Alaska before my arrival or I will probably not want to step my foot outside unless it's absolutely necessary. The temps have been -25 degrees. Wow, I can't even begin to imagine what that feels like. BRRRRRR!!!
