Haven't had snow all winter and what is predicted for today---our departure day---you got it SNOW!!
We "got out of Dodge" before any weather and had almost on time flights to Anchorage, thru Minneapolis. Had an interesting seat partner--besides Hank!! She was from Germany and had come to Alaska, for the first time, 15 years ago to care for a family with 3 kids. She really wanted to go to NYC but this was the offer. She loved Alaska so much she comes back often and this time was here for the Iditarod--going to Nicolai and Rainy Pass (checkpoints for the mushers). She just married a fellow from India and he hates the cold so he didn't come. They are moving to Mumbai soon to try that out and then maybe to Australia!! She moves around this girl!! She can make those plans as they don't want any children (think the job 15 years ago cured her!!). Anyway, got the car rental and headed to the Captain Cook Hotel --my very favorite hotel ever. Temp here was 11 degrees and LOTS OF SNOW!!
Had snack in the hotel and off to bed as it was midnite Alaska time. Till tomorrow.
