Yesterday was a long travel day but first a story about Friday evening. We got back to Anchorage mid afternoon and checked back into our motel and just rested up a bit. We had an early departure scheduled for our flight back to Seattle so ask the desk to put us on their schedule for a shuttle ride to the airport at 5:00 am. That meant that we needed to get up a little after 4:00 am. We brushed our teeth and hit the bed around 8:00 pm that night but then around 8:15 pm the fire alarm went off. We both got back up, put britches and shoes on, and went outside to find only a couple dozen other folks. About that time someone from the motel came out and said all was well so it was back in and soon to bed. Yesterday morning we were in the lobby with our luggage a little before 5:00 am and the desk clerk ask if we were waiting for the airport shuttle. We said yes and he looked at his schedule and told us that we were not on the list. We told him that we had made the request the afternoon before so he called the van driver who in a couple of minutes was back at the door for our ride to the airport.
Our flights, both to Seattle and then to St. Louis, were right on schedule and it was smooth sailing all the way. The only problem was the length of time and the three hour time zone changes. We left Anchorage around 6:30 am Alaska time and after brother John drove us to the old JbarL it was around 11:30 Alaska time, 8:30 Missouri time.
We had a GREAT time on this trip with all the wildlife viewing that we were able to witness. Then to top it all off as John turned into the JbarL driveway there were two deer grazing in his garden and while we were driving from there toward home along the gravel road we saw a red fox cross the road in front of us.
Stay tuned for our next adventure, now scheduled for an August 13 departure.
