We finally made it!
Matt has a business trip to Anchorage, Alaska this week and decided to bring me along. The beauty of Alaska is indescribable. The trip here isn’t!
Matt and I arrived at the airport approximately an hour prior (possibly even earlier than that) to our 2:50 p.m. boarding time. We were happy because our flight said “on time”. About the time we were due to board the plane the airline put a time of 3:04 p.m. up for a departure time–we were delayed…UGH! Keeping in mind that we only had 33 minutes to make our connecting flight in Houston, TX, we started getting a little nervous. We finally got off the ground at 3:40 p.m. We arrived in Houston ten minutes after our connecting flight left. So…the airline put us on a 12:10 p.m. flight for Saturday (in first class). They provided us a hotel for the night and food vouchers. The hotel was HORRIBLE! Matt and I actually found bugs in our bed. BUGS! The next morning when we were ready to leave we couldn’t get the hotel shuttle to hurry up so we could get back to the airport. We were afraid we would miss our flight again! We finally made it to the airport and onto our flight bound toward Anchorage. When we arrived in Anchorage we had to wait an hour for our hotel shuttle (our hotel is only 10 minutes from the airport). We had to wait for our luggage. Luckily it made it!
My camera died on the way to Alaska…I have never been so disappointed. We bought a new battery. We tried a new memory card. We tried turning it on without the lens attached. Nothing. The point-and-shoot camera we are using is fine, but not what I was hoping to use my entire trip.
Yesterday, we took a train ride to Seward, Alaska. The sights were so beautiful! Here’s one picture for you to see what I am referring to! Oh yeah, by the way, God is definitely trying to teach me patience because when we got back from Seward yesterday evening we had to wait 30 minutes for our hotel shuttle (again only 10 minutes from the hotel)…life is definitely an adventure!
