What a pretty kitty; I am sure you miss her terribly. I envy you having a trip to look forward to – enjoy the planning.
I love suitcase planning! Weirdly has turned into a year when I get to to zero of it, and I'm kind of missing it. Alaska sounds very exciting.
Aw what a sweet kitty. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. It's so hard to lose our furry friends. And a trip to Alaska sounds so amazing.
Aw, I'm so sorry about your cat! I hope you have a great time in Alaska though! Definitely sounds like you'll need lots of warm clothes – being Alaska, in December. hah

Thank you.
Knowing that I will more than likely make it to Alaska helps me get over 2020 ha!
Thank you.
Thank you.
I'm sure I will need lots of warm clothes but living in MS, I'm looking forward to the cold…and snow!!
