Yes, but we will not be that frozen because we will be drinking down BOB W's wine garage the entire time that we are there (as soon as we figure how to get oa load of it on the train to Fairbanks). We are also adapting and getting a bit acclimated by spending the 10 days before Alaska in the Northeast and Midwest.

And then we will be back to Fla almost directly and will have plenty of time there to warm up while you will need to go on back and be thrust into the frost for another few months.

Back on topic. If you look around the website of that airboat company, there is a discount coupon which may or may not be honored by the extremely disagreeable woman who sells the tickets out of a trailer nearby. Her attitude is ameliorated by the pleasantness of the boatmen, some of whom have that proper scruffy backwoods never-took-a-shower look to them.
