On Saturday we,re driving 1500 miles north to Whitehorse in the Yukon, we,re taking it easy and doing it in three days, then on Tuesday we,re going another 500 miles to Haines Alaska. The next five days will be spent fishing for halibut and chinook salmon and of course putting out a few crab traps, camping by the sea and dining royally, I hope. I hear the bears will be competing for the river fishing but as far as I,m concerned it,s no contest, if they want the fish I,ll go to the chippy, if there is one. Anyway I,ll try and post a few photos of our adventure.

That sounds like a great holiday.
How much is fuel there? Have you estimated how much the trip will cost for the round trip?
Whatever the cost it sounds like it will be worth it!!

Petrol is $1.34 per liter {about 67 pence} it,s approx 4000 miles return at 20 miles per gallon we will use 200 galls at about $6 per gall that,s a gas bill of around $1200 plus motels and campgrounds another $400 plus bait and fishing licenses, probably a total bill of $2000. Hmmmm if we catch 400LB of fish, that makes it $5 per pound???? Don,t let the wife see this.

How come nobody is having a 'proper' holiday this year? Apart from ozzy that is.

We can't afford one unfortunately after the wedding and its hard work getting time off work together as we work at the same place so its looking like the honeymoon is on hold for a while!

bonny_tuesday · 09-08-2008, 10:56

awww, you dont need a honeymoon, you can love each other anywhere.

Loz · 09-08-2008, 10:57

Very true bonny!
We aren't that bothered about the honeymoon anyway.
If it happens it happens if not its not the end of the world!
