Tomorrow morning, I board a plane for a girls’ trip Alaska: hiking, rafting, camping, eating, and the all-important ritual viewing of Harry Potter. My friend Kate Diamond of Damned Scribbling Women explains, and more importantly, shows off her outstanding Photoshop skillz by creating the cover for Super Special #1: Kate’s Wedding. (Ignore my frumpy dress from 1995.)
(If you were a pre-teen girl 15-20 years ago, you might have read a lot of The Baby-Sitters’ Club series. If not, you didn’t miss out, really, but so you can follow along at home: Super Specials were the longer books chronicling the baby-sitters’ group travel adventures.) I call the mystery-solving storyline in Alaskan Adventure! The romances and friendships with offbeat, chronically ill children are all yours, ladies.
Assuming I don’t get eaten by a bear or starve to death on the tundra a la Into the Wild, I’ll be back on the internets in a week!

Yeah! See you tomorrow. (And I will be rocking my T-shirts from 1985, so no fair complaining about a dress from 1995… which, by the way, I thought was really cute.)

I really don’t want to call a storyline. The only one I can think of that’s even mildly appropriate would be the winter lodge one where Mary Anne worries that Logan might be falling in love with someone else on his Hawaii vacation, but it turns out the girl he keeps talking about was a 6-year-old he’d been babysitting.
No thanks. Besides, I’m guessing my hubby will use this trip as a chance to eat lots of pizza and play many video games. No 6-year-olds on the horizon there.
