I arrived in Alaska yesterday morning at 10:30am. My friend Heidi and her mom, Cathy picked me up from the airport and we went to lunch at Costco. MMM! Hot Dog!
Cathy let me know that her husband, Dave had a small plane trip planned, and since i hadn't ever been up in one.
The plan was to fly out at noon to Twin Lakes (over the mountains and through the woods, about a 90 minute flight) to pick up some campers and bring them home. I was so excited!!!
If you know me, you know that A) i get sunburned if i'm out in the sun for more than 5 minutes, and B) i get motion sick when i LOOK at a car.
so... i get up in the air, and i'm taking pictures left and right- then i puke. Definitely, the hot dog was not so good coming back up. Neither was the omlette i had on the plane... ugh.
we picked up the two gentlemen from the little cabin on the lake, and Dave decided it would be fun to swoop in closer to the mountain for a better look at a Ram that was sunbathing... and up came the remnants of what wasn't puked up earlier. haha!
it was all fine though. i wasn't miserable- i had a great time! i slept most of the way back though because i was just too exhausted from everything that had gone on that day so far.
Towards the end of the trip, we saw two bull moose and two black bears before we made it back to Anchorage. They were the size of grains of rice from the altitude we were at, so sadly, there are no pictures- there just wasn't a point.
When we got back, Heidi picked me up and we went back to Cathy's place to dip fortune cookies in chocolate for the wedding reception.
after that, we went back and took family pictures of Heidi, George, and Dakota at the park.
after which, we went to bed- while the sun was still up, at 10:30 :-)
*sigh.
i love it here.
