Arthur's Blog: Please Join Us on this Sunday's Travel Show to Talk About a Recent Alaska Vacation

This weekend's Travel Show will be heavily about Alaska, a destination that every American should visit at some point in their lives. My daughter, Pauline, became misty-eyed when the majesty of Mount Denali came into view on her progress through Denali National Park on July 4th. Who needs the fireworks? she wrote in her Twitter feed, when our love of country came be fed by such sights as the ones you encounter in Alaska.
Pauline will be flying back from Alaska on Saturday and appearing with me on our weekly radio broadcast on Sunday. In the first half-hour of that two-hour travel discussion, she'll be reviewing the highlights of her recent two-week trip to America's northernmost state.

We'll be hearing all about hiking on the tundra of Denali, of countless glaciers, of bears coming down to the ocean to fish, of sampling the dogsleds still in use for fast, reliable transportation, of panning for gold, of camping with tent and sleeping bags in place of the few Alaskan hotels, of all the hospitality she received from Alaskans (including the loan of that tent and sleeping bags by one of our listeners and readers in Anchorage). It will be, in short, an advance checklist for your own eventual trip to Alaska, and I think it will be immensely helpful in the planning for such a trip.
Following the first half hour of Alaskan discussion, there will be plenty of remaining time for your comments and questions about that or any other travel topic. Call us toll-free at 800/544-7070. We'd love to hear from you.
The Travel Show airs 12-2pm ET each Sunday on more than 130 radio stations across the country. You can also catch the livestream at wor710.com.
