Henry and Kyle who, at twelve and ten, were finally coming on their

coming since they were born.

boys who in one day got their first airplane ride, saw their first real
mountains, stepped on Alaskan soil, saw a glacier and got on board
grandpa's sailboat. Who knows what their next trip will bring?
