Day 9

-

 Sitting here drinking my hot tea with a glimpse of ocean view and marveling, once again, at the majesty and power of Gods creation. Oh how He has blessed us with friends old and new. 

Today was a beautiful sunshiny day with temps in the mid to upper 60s. Perfect! 

Camille and Lee took us all around Anchorage even driving by the house Kims mom and dad lived in 30 yrs ago.  

This beach is right below the flight path. 
The planes take off right over your head. Much closer than it looks in this pic. 
Kim and Lee discussing something serious. 
This is Lee’s plane. 

After our tour of the city, they dropped us off at our hotel for tonight where we met our rental car owner. 
We decided to drive down to Seward since we had the afternoon free. It was a long drive but beautiful scenery once again.

Kim had a whopping big burger for supper. 

Can’t say enough about what a blessing Camille and Lee were. It was very interesting to see how God brought them into our lives, knowing we would need a touch from Him at this point in our journey. So very grateful!

It’s now 11:15 Alaska time, 2 am texas time and we’re in the guest laundry at the hotel waiting for the dryer to go off. 💤 Will post this in the morning.

Day 6

 Wow. It’s hard to believe it’s day 6 already. Where has the time gone? We woke up to a rainy day and it hasn’t stopped all day. We checked into a couple of tours but it’s Monday and most of them are only operating on weekends SINCE THE CRUISE SHIPS AREN’T COMING IN YET!!! Oh well it would have been miserable in the rain anyway. So we hopped on the city bus and went downtown to explore.  So tired of masking up.  There were some pretty fancy yachts docked there.  This one was quite impressive. We decided it belonged to some sheik from across the pond. It had a middle eastern flag. And here we are as drowned rats 😁.  Salmon on brining racks. They hand filet the salmon and can filet up to 1,000 lbs per hour. After brining, it goes into the smoker.  We ate lunch at Deckhand Dave’s food truck.  Fortunately he had tables in a tent with a heater.  I had blackened rockfish tacos (sans crema 🙁) and Kim had the 3 fish sampler tacos (rockfish, salmon and h...

I finally got a bit of a picture of the dog that kept popping up in the window. It was her face in the window that was so funny though. Her name is Taiya named after the Taiya River.  So, interesting day today. We had booked a city and mountain summit tour for today in lieu of the Yukon Train which isn’t running. Got up early and went to the meeting location but it was locked up tight. I called the number on the booking and the man was in Alabama. Apparently Viator (a trip advisor company) keeps booking his tours even though he’s told them numerous times he is closed until/unless the cruise ships start coming back and to stop booking them. He felt really bad about it but here we are in town at 7 am with nothing to do. Most of the shops are closed due to the pandemic and the ones that do open, don’t open until 10 or 12 or not at all because it’s Sunday. We walked around forever! We did find the Klondike Gold Rush museum open at 10 and they own several buildings in town so we learned...

Day 1

We left our house at 3:04 am today and met Aaron at the fire station. He dropped us off at the airport. I wish I had taken a picture of the people in the line. It was all the way to the end of the airport and then doubled all the way back going out the door. I’ve never seen it so crowded. Especially at 4:30 in the morning.  We had been in the airport and on planes for several hours and had several more to go so we took the opportunity to go outside for a minute and take our face masks off. Hate those things.  Flying into Ketchikan. I had an aisle seat so this isn’t a very good pic.  Leaving the airport to catch the ferry across the channel.  Ferry pics Standing on our hotel patio, watching a float plane take off.  Took a walk along the boardwalk after dinner. It’s now 12:30 am (TT) and we started this travel day at 3 am yesterday so we are really tired. Forget plans B and C. I think we’re on about J or K by now. Today included a missed flight, paying more than 5...
