ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, USA
I always wanted to try a
dog sled in Alaska, but heard that the romantic notion of them cruising over the snow was interrupted by the reality that the dogs poop was flung back at you, as they raced! So this outing seemed perfect, an elevated sled and they advertised puppies! This devoted couple were truly passionate about their business. His great grandfather was involved in the evolution of the
Iditarod and it has been the family's business for years. They have 15 dogs of their own, he does the racing, she does the training.
We met at Tozier track and their office also serves as the museum to all things Iditarod.

BORNEO ISLAND is a fascinating place, that I had honestly only heard of from the reality tv show Survivor. I'm still learning so much, but I had no idea it is the largest island in Asia and 3rd largest island in the World! It is a mini continent, with 3 different Countries sharing the island's land mass ( Indonesia 73%, Malaysia 26% and Brunei 1% ). We are only going to 2 ports in Malaysia now, one in each of the states of Sarawak and Sabah . Below is a video that highlights and explains thing well.
The Port of Singapore is massive and thus deserving of it's own post!
Right next to the Flower Dome in Gardens by the Bay is the Cloud Forest Dome .They sell the entry tickets as a joint package. The Cloud Forest currently has a special exhibit, Jurassic World The Experience incorporated into the forest.
