Leaving Alaska

We had one of the best trips ever leaving Alaska. Everything went like clockwork.

We left our cabin at 9am in our little fishing boat. We arrived at shore and were able to store it and the engine in record time. After saying goodbye to a couple of friends, we were on the road to Anchorage by 10.

A hour and a half later we were meeting our son for a lift to the airport. There was no waiting in line at the airport check-in and security a breeze. Our plane took off on time and was only 2/3 full. We made it to Seattle in only 2 1/2 hours. Normally, it takes more than 3.

The flight from Seattle to Las Vegas was a repeat of the Anchorage flight. The plane was 2/3 full and we arrived early. Our flight was less than 2 hours long. Usually, it takes closer to 2 1/2 hours.

As soon as we got off the plane, I headed to Avis to pick up our rented minivan and my husband headed to baggage claim to collect all our stuff and our labs, Diver and Allie. By the time I got back with the van, Greg was waiting for me in passenger pickup.

We loaded up and headed home, arriving at 2am. What a trip but a good one....
