The north pole

Now, I am not really a "geography whiz" (niki, do NOT comment on the florida story!), but I am pretty sure I am south of the north pole. One of my patients offered to let me stay at her house at the north pole for Memorial Day weekend. She said I could fly south into Fairbanks and then drive about 20 miles north to the north pole. Come to find out, there is a town called "North Pole" where they built Santa's house and have reindeer jerkey (kind of morbid). They have reindeer jerkey here in Barrow and it is delicious. Evidently, this town was not doing so hot in the 80's so they decided to change their name to North Pole to attract a lot of tourists. I am seriously considering making the trip so I can personally thank Santa for that go-kart and gymnastics tumbling mat he got me for Christmas......Santa really pulled through that year.
