Yeah I know, it's the lamest post title there ever was, but there it is. We are officially in Alaska now. We got here last night at about 12:30am Alaska time (which is 2:30am Utah time). Needless to say, it was a long day of travel. We got to the Salt Lake airport at 7:30 am for a day that would include two plane rides, a taxi, and a boat to get to our summer home in Skagway. The plane rides went off without a hitch, all except on the flight from Seattle to Juneau the guy sleeping next to Brian was having night terrors or something because every five minutes or so he would JERK awake, smacking Brian in the face, shoulder, arm and chest. Other than that, the plane rides were great. In Juneau we loaded what was supposed to be a 7 hour boat ride to Skagway, but for some reason the Coast Guard wouldn't let us leave, so we sat there in the harbor for 2 hours. This delay turned out 7 hour ride, into a 9 1/2 hour ride. It wasn't as bad as it sounds though. The scenery from the boat is amazing, it's the same trip that people take cruise ships through. We finally got in to Skagway where Blake was waiting for us to give us a ride home. Once we got there we were so hopped up on caffeine from the boat ride that we ended up cleaning our house (which we're pretty sure hasn't been done since we left in August), and unpacking all our stuff. It was a long day, but we are finally here and ready to start our summer jobs.
