Homeward bound. And more steaming volcanoes. |
We got a wake up ‘knock’ at 6 am letting us know we were
pulling back into dutch harbor. I
watched from deck a bit. The flight from
Dutch to Anchorage is about 3 hours, and I filmed the takeoff – will try to
post. We have a couple hours in Anchorage,
then should be home by 9 pm. Getting of
the plane to walk to the terminal in Anchorage it was 61 degrees outside and it
felt almost hot after the past two weeks.
Later –
Made it back to Juneau, but the luggage won’t arrive until
tomorrow. That wasn’t entirely
unexpected, since they announced in Dutch Harbor that we had ‘weight and
balance issues’ which means they can’t get all the people and luggage on board
and still take off on that short runway.
11 pm - I’m so tired but can’t sleep. It’s too light out, the Rv’s not rocking (but
it feels like it is), and it’s too darn quiet yet noisy without the white noise
of the boat engines.
I’m glad to be home, but wish Steve was here! He’ll get back from Wisconsin on Tuesday
night. Sounds like he’s having a blast there, and I’m so jealous!
Thanks for writing all this up. I get a little nostalgic for "real science," and I appreciate living vicariously through you. ;)
