We decided to get a jump start on our final year in Unalakleet (you’ll be hearing “final year” from me a lot this coming year, as I’ll be laying it on thick!). Anyway, we left Valdez around 9:00 this morning and were in Anchorage before 10:00. We rented a car and headed straight to Costco. Now our bank account is empty. Actually, I think we did pretty well. We wanted to stock up on dry, non-perishable items for next year so we wouldn’t have to in the fall. We ended up mailing 7 boxes and took two totes as luggage. Mailing stuff is pretty cheap – our boxes were around 50 lbs. and averaged a $10 shipping charge. It ends up being quite a bit cheaper than buying stuff here in town. …As April will tell you, everything in Unalakleet costs $8 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Our shopping and shipping trip took all of our time, and we headed back to the airport at 2 to get our luggage checked in for the flight. We then headed to the board room for a comfy chair and a snack.<\/p>\n
The flight to Unalkleet was pretty quick, and I think I dozed most of the time. Had to catch up on sleep after a wonderful time in Valdez. If only we had more time!!!<\/p>\n
It’s 9:40 PM and very light here. We’ve now got over 17 hours of visible light. My body just doesn’t get it. I’m going to have to fight myself to fall asleep.<\/p>\n
Dad says the weather at home continues to be beautiful I’m happy for all enjoying it, and know my time is coming soon! I can’t believe I’ll be home in less than a month. I can’t wait!<\/p>\n
Hope you’re all well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
