4. I've never been to Alaska but would love to visit, maybe a cruise.

What I've learned about Alaska is pretty much just what's been written about it since Palin became McCain's running mate. I had no real reason to pay attention to what was going on up there before, it just seemed so far away and separate from the lower 48.

The photographs I've seen are spectacular.

And I admire the Alaskans' strength of conviction. A pic of some people braving unbelievable (to me) temps to stand with Occupy comes to mind.
