Jennie & Eric Hultquist – The Trip of a Lifetime

In this episode of the Journey of My Mother’s Son podcast, I talk with two of our full-time friends, Jennie and Eric Hultquist. We originally met Jennie and Eric on a volunteer project through A Year to Volunteer back in February of 2022 at Sam Houston Jones State Park in Lake Charles, Louisiana.  Who would have guessed when we met them, that we’d be traveling with them throughout Canada and Alaska a few years later?  But low and behold, Jennie and Eric were the fearless leaders of our Alaskan Gang this summer.  We traveled over 7,000 miles with them from the end of May through the beginning of August and had a fantastic time.  It was the trip of a lifetime, even though we hope to return to America’s Last Frontier at some point in the future, this trip has given all of us memories that will last a lifetime. The trip was the culmination of almost two years of planning by Jennie and Eric.  They took us to places that we never knew existed, like Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories.  As the trip came together, each of us had input on places to stay and things to do, so it truly did turn into a team effort once we hit the road. We had a marvelous time and can’t thank Jennie and Eric enough for the work that they put into planning this trip for the group.
