Tomorrow morning something very near and dear to me begins.
Every since I was a kid, I have dreamed of one day going to Alaska and heli-boarding on the glaciers. I'd watch the snowboard pros in the movies and say to myself: "that would be the coolest thing one could ever do."
Well, I've worked hard and saved my pennies. It's time to kick this one off the ol' bucket list. My dream becomes a reality starting tomorrow morning.
I depart John Wayne airport at 8am and begin my journey to VALDEZ, ALASKA where I'll be for the next week exploring the glaciers with a snowboard strapped to my feet with THIS company. I CANNOT WAIT. For me, this really is a dream come true.
Supposedly the lodge I'm staying at has WiFi, so check back for daily updates and photos.

Dude, this is on my list too. I should have started saving my pennies so I could have filmed you gliding down that oh so sweet mountain. Have fun, can't wait to see some pics, and if you see an avalanche... turn.
