First Day of the trip 7/27/08

Kay and I got up early for our 7:50 am trip. Jon and Rei took us to the airport. Our initial flight took 5 hours to Las Vegas. After an hour and a half lay over, we took the flight to Anchorage which took another 5 and a half hours. We got into Anchorage about 4:00 PM local time; 8:00 PM EDT. We met my fraternity brother Tom Macchia, a physicians assistant in Alaska for dinner. We had a nice meal and he showed us around afterward. At 10 PM local time we went to bed quite exhausted. It was still bright daylight at the time
