  From Thursday June 28 until Monday July 16, I'm going to be on vacation … in Alaska!

  The wife and I will be spending the next two-plus weeks in the Last Frontier dogsledding, helicopter riding and rafting. This is one of those trips that you only get to make a couple of times in your life … so we're psyched.

  We'll be taking the Alaska railroad for a week, spending time in Anchorage, Seward, Denali National Park and more.

  I'm bringing along my video camera, so I'll hopefully be posting some videos shortly after we return. For a two-plus week trip, I'm sure we'll have plenty of footage!

  I'm not bringing along my laptop or cell phone on this trip (only my little portable video/music player), so I will be completely disconnected from the world. That means no blogging. Sorry!

  But look for some great content shortly after I return — I have some great stuff in store!
