Mali Mish – An Airstream Travel Blog

Family of 5 and a cat living, working & exploring in an Airstream since 2008. Every day is an adventure.

Sometimes we get to meet up with new people in scenic places and sometimes it's in the Safeway parking lot. Today our paths crossed with @alaskanroots, toured her 89 VW Vanagon and swapped road stories. And once again, Luka climbed into the back of the van and refused to get out. Seems like we need to ditch the Airstream and figure out how to squeeze 5 people into VW. #kidding #notkidding

CITY OF HOMER

Tuesday, August 4th 2015

Luka's new morning routine includes an announcement exclaiming that he wants to live in a red VW bus, then he hops out of the Airstream and straight into the passenger seat of the @bodeswell_vw bus. Maybe it's because they drove from the tip of Argentina to tip of Alaska, or maybe it's their stories of swimming with piranhas, or maybe because they have a hidden stash of Capri-Suns in there. 😜

The lowest tide of the year means the best bore tide of the year. But I'm sure when it happens again in two weeks, it'll be good enough to surf too.

It's been awhile since I shot and posted a #malimishdronie. This was one worth coming back for.

We haven't done much hiking or exploring the past week. Sometimes staying put just feels right. Plus it's hard to convince Luka to go anywhere when @ariana_babcock has strawberry flavored bubble water.

Last night was epic. Campfire, friendship, music, sunset and a flying camera getting a shot of it all.

Off to the local bakery for brewed coffee, freshly baked cinnamon rolls and a pile of new toys for the kids to play with... which always ends with them dumping all the toys out in order to play with the bucket the toys sat in instead 😜

Our current traveling community tally: 3 airstreams, 1 unimog, 1 land cruiser, 1 VW bus with 12 adults, 6 kids, 4 dogs, 1 cat, 4 guitars, 3 ukuleles and a mandolin. Phew! Who said life on the road was lonely?!?!

When you're camping next to the ocean and a 6.2 earthquake hits that is epicentered near you, your eyes get real wide as you wait for the evacuation sirens. Luckily no sirens went off so we continued with our bonfire with new and old traveling friends.

There's a crazy beautiful glacier and ocean outside our door but the midday lighting is harsh so you'll have to settle for @malimish_dan and @van_tramp chatting about whatever dudes chat about. 🙉

It's a bit drizzly and the weekend crowd is still here but we'll survive.

As we headed into Alaska, we expected an unusual amount of daylight but what we didn't expect is being bathed in the magical light of golden hour for what feels like forever at the end of each night.

We get excited when see a place to fill water at a campground. Even if it's just an ancient manual well pump.

When the tide recedes, the fine silt that sits under the water becomes exposed. For a moment, the kids avoided the sticky mud knowing that it can swallow their feet whole. But apprehension never lasts long with them.

I didn't realize how much I missed hearing the roar of the ocean until we landed on a cliff just above it.

COOK INLET, ALASKA

Thursday, July 23rd 2015

Millions of years ago, a massive glacier retreated leaving Cook Inlet behind and creating the Kenai Peninsula. Giant rocks littered across this fine silt beach serve as a reminder of nature's amazing forces.

Sitting atop the bluffs overlooking Cook Inlet from the Kenai Peninsula we can actually see the sun attempting to set behind the mountains of the Alaskan Range from our campsite. We've been here almost a month and haven't quite seen a real sunset until now. 🌲🌅🗻🌲

COOPER LANDING

Wednesday, July 22nd 2015

By the looks of the lush green mountains and robin blue water, I thought we transported to a tropical island for a split second. But dipping our toes in the water quickly snapped us back to reality. #mrlukanopants

Later, Seward! Off to buy a fishing pole and license to see if we catch us some salmon dinner.

SEWARD PORT - ALASKA

Tuesday, July 21st 2015

We are not on vacation is usually muttered to others when describing our lifestyle. But today we had to remind ourselves of that fact. Spending a large sum of money to take a boat tour of the tide-water glaciers and whales wasn't on our agenda today even though it was so tempting. We instead decided to hike to to Exit Glacier, the only part of Kenai Fjords National Park by road. And you know what? It was awesome too.

Now that she's watched birds and squirrels out this window in all lower 48 states and Alaska, she is pondering her next adventure. Or maybe she's just sleeping.
