Planes, Trains, and Automobiles....

It should say---Autos, trains,and planes!!! My trip was long...but pretty uneventful. Christopher and I got to Kazoo Wed. night. The three of us had dinner and then "bonded" in the room. We were up early the next morning and drop Katie at her dorm, then proceeded to get lost on our way to the train station!! After Chris dropped me off--I cried!! And then began the hurry-up and wait thing!! The train was late....and slow--but the trip was relaxing! Once at Union Station, with all of my luggage (very heavy), I stumble and tripped my way to find a cart--I kind of looked like "Country Bumkin'" goes traveling!! No carts around...so after many choice swear words--I made it to the Canal St. entrance to wait for the shuttle. It was a sight--me, the Smokers and the Homeless--dare one to ask me for money--he did! My reply--I have to move to Alaska to make money--LOL!!!!

The shuttle arrived--no place for me...except the passenger side next to the driver!! Once we hurried to the Airport I got to wait in some more lines--what fun!

Finally it was time to board--I had the row to myself for the 6.5 hour flight. The full moon illuminated the Canadian Rockies -it was beautiful!!

I arrived in Anchorage at 10pm--thank goodness Jean Peltola's brother David, picked me up at the airport--I was tired and clueless!!

David drove me past my school--which his kids attended--small world--ah! Then on to the B & B....more to follow......
