An excerpt from my Blog:
This past 4-day Memorial Day weekend Ken and I went to Cordova! What an awesome time we had!! Cordova is such a cool little town and the only two ways to get there are by ferry or plane. You can not get there by car. That is so cool! Juneau, the state capital is the same way. Actually many towns and villages in Alaska are accessible only by plane. 
During our 4-day stay in Cordova we ate--no big mystery there, and visited Childs glacier, which by the way is the most active glacier in Alaska. You are guaranteed to see it calving during your visit, and we did, but they were only baby calves. Does that make sense? So the road we traveled on to get to Childs glacier is called Route 10. It starts off paved then it turns into a gravel road. You travel about 30 miles or so and hit the Million Dollar Bridge, which was built back in the early 1900s. About 1/4 mile past the bridge, the road ends. The road and bridge were originally built to for the train. But that went out of service, not sure how long ago. Now the bridge is a tourist attraction, but not for many people. I hopefully will post pictures from that trip online one of these days.   (editor's note: apparently they are posted)
As cool as Cordova was to visit, I wouldn't want to live there, only because it is so isolated! I like Anchorage. It is a big city but has a small town feel to it. I've never lived anywhere where I hung out at the town center with the mayor. Well I didn't actually hang out with him, just in the same vicinity. Ken one day went into a local grocery store and saw Senator Ted Stevens buy his morning coffee.
