Our first day we went into Cochrane Alberta, Canada, a lovely little tourist town, where we tried and tried to use the internet without much luck. We were successful, however, in renting our new house in Alaska, 3477 Buffalo Lane, Fairbanks, AK 99710. 
Don’t send any mail and don’t make plans to visit yet. We sent a deposit and a letter of intent and will sign the lease when we get there. Do you believe we did this over the internet on Craig’s List? We hope it will be perfect. It is about the same size as the Schwenksville house with a full bath and a downstairs toilet on 2 acres in a neighborhood about 20 minutes outside of Fairbanks on a dirt road sort of near the Chena Hot Springs. Hiking trails nearby. Lots of folks in the neighborhood, including our landlords who live next door have DOG SLED TEAMS. How cool will that be? And amazingly enough, we did it all through email, and a few phone calls. We hope the house is as good as the photos.
Congrats on your new abode! Your leasing online so fits your adventuresome spirits. You'll have to send pics of what you actually find and hopefully we won't be able to tell the difference. Missed you and am glad you are back into posting your trip. I'll comment more later....
ReplyDeleteIt looks and sounds fantastic! Good Luck! We'll be waiting to hear more.
