Yes, that red dot at the top is Barrow. That is where we are headed. We just bought our plane tickets, and are scheduled to leave during the first week of July. It will take approximately twelve hours of flight time total to get from the east coast to Barrow.
We needed to pack up our belongings and mail them up to our apartment. There aren't any roads that connect Barrow to other cities, so a moving van is not an option. So all of our things will be packed into thirty or so boxes and mailed. Then we keep our fingers crossed that we receive them all!
Driving up was our original plan. We were excited to make the road trip and get to experience driving through Canada and parts of Alaska that we hadn't yet seen. However, our two dogs are joining us on our journey and they have recently become extremely carsick after five minutes in the car. So we figured that twelve days probably wouldn't work well for them.

WOohoo!
I can't wait for the girls to play with your dogs! They love cats, but they've never played with dogs before :-)
Looks good! Makes my stomach churn but I am glad that you two are happy to be returning. :)
Wow! Now that's NORTH! I wonder if I could "swim" there?
