June 20 to June 24
Drove to Homer June 20.....what a place!!! It is Alaska's version of Florida's Key West and I love both places. Relaxed and kick back. First thing we drove to 'the spit' and shopped around for a charter boat to go halibut fishing. We made a reservation for 12:30 the next day. Darlene said "fishing? are you out of your mind?" Needless to say she did not participate. The weather was picture perfect, it took about an hour to get out far enough to fish. We all caught our limit and it was just so much fun (and work)

Our view from our motorhomes
Joe went to the local True Value Hardware store and bought a vacuum sealer with extra bags so when we got back we all got busy preparing our fish for freezing. The next night we had grilled halibut!!! Sooo good! You can see why I loved this so much, isn't it beautiful? We stayed an extra day just to soak up more of it (partially from the laundromat) but was nice anyway.
From Homer we went to Kenai, Larry and Judy have friends from their car club who live here and they had said we could use their address to forward our mail, very nice people. Here is a picture of their home they are in the process of completing (I stole the picture from Judy's blog)
