Leaving Anchorage Sept 3, NOW the sun comes out, and what I didn't need,
Wrapped up my box of fish with tape borrowed from the hotel and went to the outfitters around the corner and bought two straps to wrap around the box. Terry said I'd have to wrap the box when I got to airport so TSA could look at it and I said no, that's what they have X-ray machines for and it would too weird to have everyone wrapping their boxes at the airport. I won that one.
Next we drove to see Darren's house that he lived in when he was 5.
Then back to downtown so Marie could see a friend and give him all the leftover food and paper plates and paper towels.
What to do? Hmmm. We decided to go to the Aleyeska resort and have lunch. Wasn't feeling it for lunch as I had eaten breakfast a few hours ago but we drove there and looked around the resort and I had a bowl of candied walnut and cauliflower soup. Soup didn't need candied anything and it was a subtle soup. Drove back to Anchorage and decided to go to airport 4 hours early so we did. Couldn't think of much else to do as a group and they weren't geocachers.
At airport there were lots of people with fish boxes already taped up and I was reassured that I had done the okay thing. Got on plane around 8pm and sort of slept and arrived MSP 5am. Got the fish, sorted out the fish. Joanne picked me up and I was home by 6 and in bed by 7am.
As I unpacked later tonight here is what I didn't wear:
-- purple smartwool top
-- gym pants (I brought them as comfy pants for relaxing in)
-- heavy socks (I brought the shoes for the light socks)
-- silk neck scarf
What I'm really glad I brought:
-- rain skirt
-- gaiters. kept my shoes from getting wet and rain from seeping into my socks
-- Simms rain jacket. Fishing rain jacket for fishing weather
What I didn't use much:
-- my art supplies, sadly
-- didn't read my book AT ALL
