Have you seen the movie The Terminal? Sometimes I feel like it’s my life. I wonder exactly how many hours I’ve spent in airports this year. I should start a log… though I know I’m nowhere close to where a lot of people who travel for work are.<\/p>\n
We’re delayed for the second time on our voyage back to Unalakleet. Our first came last night in San Fransisco as we were trying to get to Seattle. We ended up getting in about an hour and a half late, thus shaving that time from our hotel sleep. We awoke after about 4 1\/2 hours and grabbed the shuttle back to good old SEA\/TAC. After boarding our flight and feeling really good about all the extra space we’d have on our flight to Anchorage, we learned that they decided to delay our flight by 2 hours and add the passengers from a later cancelled flight. Yes, we get another glorious 2 hours here in the airport and a full flight. We’re fortunate, though, to have exit row seats with lots of leg room.<\/p>\n
This vacation has been something of a “Board Room Tour”. I’ve got to admit our passes were probably the best purchase we could’ve made this year. I give the SEA\/TAC boardroom 4 stars, while San Francisco only gets 2… it was just too small and quiet. Anyway, I enjoyed a delicious bagle and cream cheese here this morning, and think I’ll go hunt down some more juice here in a minute.<\/p>\n
Bill had the grand idea of heading to Valdez tonight and post-poning our return to Unalakleet by a couple of nights. I was all for it, but the airplane is full. So, back to UNK we go. It would’ve been nice to see Barb… Bill’s down in MN right now – so it’s probably good that we wait to visit another time.<\/p>\n
My next excursion isn’t for another 3 weeks or so. I’ll be off to New York then, and I have plenty of preparation to do before then. Next week I will have to keep my nose to the grindstone… is that how that expression goes?<\/p>\n
Fantastic news back home… Ethan will arrive in Minneapolis on Saturday! This has been long awaited, and I know his family is overjoyed. I’m so excited for them all and can’t wait for a chance to meet the little guy! Congrats Tom and Moniuqe!<\/p>\n
More great news – my friend Amy is going to have a baby in October! I can barely belive it… how exciting! She’s going to be one of those extra cute pregnant ladies – since she’s already super cute. \ud83d\ude42 Anyway, I am just totally excited for her, and I can’t wait for our trip “out east” this summer so we can all pamper her. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I’m convinced that I’ll need to head back to Mexico next winter… it’ll be my compromise for one final year in Alaska. (Did everyone know we’ve decided to stay one more year. I don’t think I’ve ever made it official… mostly because I haven’t been truly sure until just recently.) Anyway, I’m hoping that next year’s vacation can include some family and friends. Be thinking ahead. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
This has been a rather long post. I do hope you’re well.<\/p>\n
