UPDATE: I've made it back and pictures of the island and my adventures there can be found here.
I'm headed to St. Paul, Alaska for the first time. It's been on my Alaska travel list ever since I learned of the place. I'm excited to go, but I think its cautionary whenever you're told to pack all your food.
There is not a restaurant open this time of year and while there's a small store on the island, my guess is that it's crazy expensive. I leave tomorrow and hopefully fly back on Sunday. I'm reluctant to leave the beautiful Anchorage weather behind for winter like weather, but going to St. Paul is prohibitively expensive for a pleasure trip. I'll have the weekend and evenings to explore. I've packed lots of warm clothes and rain gear so that I have no excuse not to be out and about. There's also a bar on the island so if I get too cold I can always pop in for a drink to warm me up. Hope its open.
Too bad I'll be there just weeks before the fur seals come ashore. Maybe I'll get lucky and the birds will be around as I've heard this is a birding destination. I will regale everyone with adventures when I return. Until then...
