Introduction

This holiday is completely different from all the holidays that we have had before: This holiday we did not go cycling but we took our backpacks and went walking through Alaska. Not that we did not like to go cycling, but just to try something completely different for a change. On friday 20 July 2001 we went by plane from Amsterdam via Detroit, Minneapolis to Anchorage. Because our luggage did not arrive with us, we'll have to wait 2½ hours for it to arrive with the next plane. Now we were ready to start our walking trip.
