Send some snow my way! That way I can hear all these local goofballs cry and moan and I can play out in it with my son! Since moving here we have yet to get enough snow to make a snowman!

I've been wanting to move to Alaska for the longest time! I never thought #1 that I would ever make it, and #2 that I would move to an island. I always imagined going to Juneau, Fairbanks, Anchorage, but wound up taking a chance on Sand Point.

I hope to one day be a proud Alaskan (Transplant) like you guys. The environment, the beauty, the history, and life in general is the reason why I want to leave my home here and make a new start in Alaska.

Be prepared for a huge culture shock. It might also be wise if you had a contingency plan in case the experience is not what you were expecting.

Unless you have a job already in Sand Point, you may just want to visit first. People are Friendly, but it is expensive to live there. Just dropping in and expecting to get a job and living spaces is great, but not very realistic. I thought you had that all done.

Good Luck though!
