Home / 1995.09 Alaska 66
One day in September 1995 I was walking during lunch break with my friend Wojtek Zasada.
We talked about travels. I don't remember who started first, but before lunch break ended I called my travel agent to buy airplane tickets to Alaska.I had no idea where exactly I would go.I knew I would start in Anchorage.
Then I started to hesitate.There was no way back because my travel agent Yvonne bought tickets with the speed of lightning.
After I returned home from work I begun reading where to go.About seven, ten days later I was on the airplane to Anchorage.
