I am very interested in Alaska. The south areas are very interesting. Perhaps someone in the Ketchikan area. Its an interesting area with an agreable climate and the icebears are easy to reach. :)

Ketchican gets an average of 12 feet of rain a year, although it is beautiful there you can not drive anywhere only ferries. If you are interested in Polar Bears and still want moderate winters and beautiful summers and still be able to drive you should check out HOMER. I lived there for over 3 years and spent most of my time on the water in between Ketchican and Kodiak. I was in the U.S. Coast Guard, now retired. Homer is a small fishing village/town that is very charming. If you like the outdoors there is ALOT of things to do there. The winters seldom get below minus 30 and the summers seldom get above 80. The people there a generally very friendly, a bit on the rough side but very genuine. You have a great view of the glaciers across the Kachemak Bay year round. You can catch a ferry down south or out to Kodiak during the summer and pretty much year round from Seward ( 3 hour drive from Homer). You should visit Alaska sometime, you will not regret it! If you have any more questions feel free to ask. I am no expert but I did see and learn alot while up there. I will be going back up there for vacation, there is no doubt in my mind.
Take care, Brian.

I would definatly have to recomend something outta south east. The rain, and the constant cloud cover is pretty overwehming after a while. I'm stationed in PSG, and I have to agree with that other person, the people, are rather friendly, which being from NJ is quite weird.

Even the damned ones who break your heart???? *grin*
It's nice to see you post something sort of nice about Alaska, for a change! Not that it was so much you as all the jerks who posted replies to you.

I don't know what I could possibly say as an elaboration that would clear them up for you.
You were being a bit insulting about Alaska in other posts, but more it was some of the people who replied to you who were. So it's nice to see you say something not so insulting for a change.
Alaska is my country - I was born there. I was the first person born there, in actual fact, who was comprised of all it's people - the foreigners, the Americans - because my parents were from Texas, the Natives because the Cherokee (contrary to the belief of non Native Alaskan elders) came from there and only left due to an urge for a brief respite from the Eskimo, etc. and at a time when one could be born as an Alaskan of the territory, of the State, of the former country, and of the rebellion all at once. And besides being the first person born there under all those conditions, I was one of the few white people who had been born there since it had become a territory (because they usually left to go down states ) and the only one to survive, and the first child born in the State to residents of the State. And one of the few children born in Alaska at all since 1959 or so because by then the majority of the Natives were also going to Canada or down states. People used to reel with disbelief when they heard my mother braved the wilds of Providence Hospital to have her child. A lot's changed since then! So. .to the State of Alaska, rife with Americanism, it doesn't mean much. To the Alaska that was and is the country, I would be the Regent.
You aren't expected to understand it because you are not Alaskan. Mostly no one is, anymore. But some of the traditions still hold.
And, just for future reference: I don't need fishing boats! So thanks for saving them, but, it's an American thing not Alaskan really.
As long as you are in Alaska, maybe you should learn more about the history and the people of Alaska. Yes? And who knows maybe you'd find a nice girl at the library and then wouldn't have to import "one".
Have a lovely life as I am not coming back to this post I can tell you

Yes, you are correct that story means little to me. Only because I believe in a much larger, much more compeling story of unity.
It all started when a group of people who were being opressed came together to show a unified front to a common enemy. That is the United States, that is the country you were born in. You just happened to be born in the state of Alaska. It's fine that you have animosity toward other states, I call this rivalry. Yet I hardly see how saying constant rain and cloud cover in the south east as being insulting to a state. That's akin to saying ohh it 's usally sunny and hot in FL...and people in florida taking offense. Of course this hostility is pointless since folks will believe what they wanna.

lol you don't know how filthy and devestatingly insulting that last comment was, potentially. You obviously know NOTHING about the real history of Alaska to come out with it, though, so, in your ignorance, you also find your forgiveness.
Now, quickly, tell us how only black people were slaves in America so we can all have a good laugh!
