About Me

My photo
Florida, United States
June and I retired in June, 2004 and travelled for a year on our boat from Lake Michigan to Florida, then North on the East Coast through Canada, back to Southern Lake Michigan. It was the most amazing trip we have ever taken and one that will be tough to beat. We settled in Florida in the fall of 2005. On April 3rd, 2011, we departed in our Motorhome for the "BIG 2011 PLAN" We've now completed an 18,000 mile, 6 month drive from home in Florida to Northern California, North on the Pacific west coast to Seattle. From there to Alaska - with returning stops in Spokane, Washington - Oregon, Yellowstone, and other sites - then to Fort Wayne, Indiana to visit family, then back South to Florida and home. We have now traded in our motor home and purchased a new 5th wheel travel trailer and truck to continue travelling as long as life will allow. We will keep you informed as much as practical on our new site: www.Rainwatertravel.blogspot.com

Take a look at this.... Daylight at midnight


I took this shot while in Denali - Look at the sunrise and sunset time!!!  3:48 A.M. Sunrise - 12:20 A.M. Sunset - - - - - That's only 3 1/2 hours of night ...... It's wierd getting to sleep at 11:00 P.M. when the sun is still shining......



6/18  -  One thing to get accustomed to is the amount of daylight this time of year up here in Alaska.   The sun is still shining at 11:00 P.M., The sun sets at 11:42 P.M. and comes out again at 4:20 A.M. - this according to the information tables at http://www.timeanddate.com/ 

It's strange going bed when the sun is still out at 11:00 P.M.........

Here is a picture I took at midnight under cloudy skys....................
