Well, we made it. The approach into Anchorage was beautiful!!! We took this picture with a cell phone....so the quality is "so-so". It was a long day. 3 hours to Minneapolis and then 5 hours to Anchorage. With a 4 hour layover. Everything went great, except for the frantic run for the flight in Minneapolis...you may wonder "why?" with such a long delay, but there was a gate change at the very last minute that we didn't see until the last minute....so we had a nice little jog through the airport.
We are settled into the Comfort Inn in Anchorage for 2 nights...and dealing with the 4 hour time difference as well as the sunlight all night long. They are fishing for salmon in front of the hotel this morning..there were anglers in the parking lot putting waders on at 5:am.
Today is a free day in the city, so we will probably do a a city tour and acclimate a bit longer.
Tomorrow we start with a train trip from Anchorage to Seward, about 3 hours. we are in the upper class domed cars so there should be great photo ops... scenic and relaxing
Love to everyone at home!!! More later!!
Nancy & Ian
