In Alaska

So, I made it to Alaska!! I got to Anchorage at about 1 am, but Puffin and I were very tired so we too a nap. Now it is just about 4:30 and the sun is rising!! The trip up here was not too bad, a bit long but not bad really. Puffin slept most of the way and has barked only a few times in the airport. Some man walked near us while we were napping and Puff kinda flipped out a bit, but only a little bit...my little watch dog. I guess taking her to the beach really on Wednesday before our day of adventure really did the trick because she has been sleeping like a lamb :)

Sorry no pictures yet (so far the airports all look pretty much the same), but I hope I will post some soon.

A Few More Days...

So, I have only a few more days until my adventure to the Great North really begins...A few people have suggested that I write a blog while I am living/teaching/surviving in Alaska. I figure this is a good way to communicate to the people I care about, and I even get to share some pictures too!

I am really surprised that I am not at all nervous. Instead, I am really looking forward to to starting over on my terms. I have never felt so in control in my whole life, and it is an incredible feeling!!

I must admit I am a bit apprehensive about the journey there - I really hope Puffin will be ok (and by that I mean well behaved). It will take us about a day and a half to finally get there and I NOT looking forward to flying on a 5 person propeller plane, but that too will be an adventure.

So, I guess I am just really ready for this whole adventure to begin!

More to come soon and pictures too!
