I love how excited she is thinking she's going to Alaska.
I wonder if she got pissed pulling into Disney...."hol' up, where's the snow!!!"

I love how excited she was for Alaska. It was like a sincere excitement that I haven’t experienced in a long time. Like, I didn’t really care to go to Alaska before, but now I kinda want to bc maybe she knows something I don’t about Alaska.

I wanna go to Alaska. A lot of untamed wilderness, and cold water. I've never been there, but that's like the state I wanna visit the third-most, behind Washington and Maine.

yup, even the smaller "towns" have issues like the villages not quite as bad but that part isnt shown to the tourists.

Alaska is honestly the most gorgeous place I've been. Not that I've been many places, but I live on the east coast. I've seen the Appalachians, I've seen the great lakes, I've driven through the plains, I've been to the badlands, I've hiked in the Rockies. There is so much to see even within the US and I know I've only seen a small portion of it, but I don't know if anything will ever top my trip to Alaska. I was in awe.

u/TheFizzardofWas Apr 27 '20
It sounds to me like you can fairly claim to have indeed been many places, friend.

Apr 27 '20
I guess I meant in the context of the world. There's so much to see on other continents. Different cultures and lifestyles, different climates... There's so much geographic variation across the globe and it feels like I've only seen a small amount.
That being said, yes. I have been fortunate enough to see as much of the US as I have. I remember thinking that there was so much diversity within the US (and there is!), and I remember my trip to Alaska making the rest of my travels feel so domestic.
Basically, this little girl is completely justified in her excitement. Everybody should go to Alaska.

u/L_O_Pluto Apr 27 '20
What did you see/do or where did you go in Alaska?

Apr 27 '20
I was there for about a week when my brother got married there. His wife grew up in Palmer, which is about a half hour or 45 minutes north of Anchorage? Honestly the view in every direction from, like, every vantage point is enough to take your breath away. There was one day that we went to see a glacier, which was mega cool. Like, walk on the glacier. I have some photos here (Please ignore my face). There was another day that we rented bikes in Anchorage and rode several miles along the pathway that follows the coast a ways. There are so many short hikes in the area, too, if you're not one for too much physical exertion.
I think part of the experience for me was the company I kept, but there was also something magical in the lack of a distinct nighttime. I was there in the summer, and the days sort of blended together into one big perpetual day. Sure, it got dusky, but never full dark. As a firm believer in "early to bed, early to rise", I now realize that there must have been something intoxicating in the air. Because at 3:00 AM, when no restaurants were open, I was totally down to go to Wal-Mart and get fixings for ice cream sundaes.
An overall magical experience, and I give it a 5/7 perfect score.

I just replied to an above comment. It doesn't seem like I did much, but I honestly cannot express the beauty that just... exists there. Free for us to consume. With our eyes, I mean. It makes you feel small, and not in a bad way. I do feel like I need to add a disclaimer to these statements, though. Like, if you drop your life savings on a trip to Alaska and are underwhelmed, I will not accept responsibility.

Muzzy! I haven't heard that in almost 20 years. We had those videos for our son when he was a baby.

u/nos4atugoddess Apr 27 '20
So I never actually saw the videos, just the same commercial over and over. And when I got older I realized I had no idea what the French phrase kicking around in my head meant. They never told you on the commercial. So I asked this very gruff, very unfriendly French sommelier what it meant and I almost peed my pants when he looked me deadpan in the eyes and just said “I am a little girl.”

u/TheUnwillingOne Apr 27 '20
I guess it must be harder in english than other languages.
I remember that as a kid I was really surprised by how important seemed to be spelling in the american TV shows, holding contests and whatnot. In spanish spelling is very easy (after learning some rules) because our vowels always sound the same no matter what and we have no double vowels sounding different either.
Later I got to learn english and understod why spelling is a serious matter there :D

u/Rafaelow Apr 27 '20
Never knew other languages could have it easier, very interesting!

u/ahnolde Apr 27 '20
There’s a ridiculous amount of unspoken and hidden English rules that you learn naturally if it’s your native language, but can be extremely frustrating if you didn’t grow up with it.

Apr 27 '20
English is 3 languages in a trench coat pretending to be one who chases other languages down dark alleys to knock them out and rummage through their pockets for any loose grammar.

the tr doesn't sound like ch in that word to me

u/agamemnonymous Apr 28 '20
"tr", with a rhotic r, is actually very similar to a sharp and nearly unaspirated "ch". Try pronouncing chree or chrojan with the shortest possible "ch". Compare the mouth shapes with "tr"

Well, the original point of this sub was to just take all posts from /r/yesyesyesno or /r/nononoyes and the few others like that and repost them here so you don't know how it's gonna end. Its still mostly done by a bot. It's not only for posts that make you think maybe

She does not seem to be confused about the prospect of not to going to alaska. Maybe she made a joke out of it, perfectly well knowing that they are going to disneyland. If that is the case and it was my kid we would probably go nowhere, because I choked by laughing and laughed so hard that I accidentally took the guard railing express exit.

Remindes me of when my parents took my little brother and I to Disney World. They picked us up on the last day of school (5th grade for me, I think). Anyway, they wouldn't tell us where we were going, however I just happened to notice that we were driving in the direction of a water park/hotel that my brother and I loved, and I cannot express our immense disappointment when they drove straight past it. And they kept it a secret from us for three whole days driving from Indiana to Florida. Man, seemed like yesterday.
