| | Alaska: The Update
I'm still up in Alaska and enjoying it thoroughly. I can't upload the hundreds of pictures I've taken yet because the internet service is spotty at best. Updates and pictures soon to follow.
A quick recap of the trip:
Day 1: Land, sleep
Day 2: Hike 13 miles, almost die on ice slopes (ok.... maybe almost is an exaggeration)
Day 3: Ford glacier river in sandals, finish 13 more miles in hike
Day 4: Drive to Homer, fish, see multiple bears close up, pass out at 1am
Day 5: Flight Seeing in Homer at 8:00 am - tons of bears. Fish our way up the coast to Bird Creek at 2am
Day 6: Fishing out of Whittier at 7:00 AM. We have had an average of 4 hours sleep a night. Scenes included whales jumping, sea lions barking, porpoises swimming, and halibut caught. Pizza, Strip Club, and Chilkoot Charlie's for four very weary fishermen.
Day 7: 2 of the boys drop out. Dinner and drinks all day at local micro-breweries
Day 8: Last of the chechaco's drops out. I spend the day visiting family and friends followed by a rehearsal dinner, and part of the EHS Class of 98 Reunion. I have forgotten most people.
Day 9: Today! Wedding and official reunion are being held in the same hotel. I could not have planned this better had I tried.
I'm now officially on Alaska time. I slept in until noon today after staying up until 3:30 am last night. That's the equivalent of staying up until 7:30 am and sleeping 'till 4pm when I get back east. Work on Wednesday should be fun.
More to come soon.
