Finally!  After much research, planning, and packing, our Alaskan trip is underway…well sort of.  Since we have an early flight on Thursday, we decided to stay overnight near the airport.  That counts as part of the vacation, right?  In any case, we are settled in and waiting for the 4 am alarm.  Seriously, should anything be allowed to happen that early in the morning?  Fortunately, one of us is a morning person (not me apparently) and will keep me from getting lost, even though my eyes may still be closed!  Bless the hotel, they will have breakfast in a bag for us to take with, so we can nibble while we shuttle.

Tomorrow, we have a nonstop to Seattle, then a short hop to Vancouver, BC.  After all the time changes, customs, and other formalities, we should arrive at our hotel a bit before noon.  I can’t wait to stow the luggage and take off to explore Vancouver!
