anchorage

so iv spent the day all on my lonesome, i went out and checked out downtown anchorage, lots of gift shops selling bear/moose/whale stuff. wasnt feeling super excited by it since poor debbies still stuck in her traveling nightmare, so i got some groceries and headed back to the hotel and thats where iv been watching tv etc ever since, its a long wait till 1am when debbie will hopefuly finaly turn up, fingers crossed

so here's a few pics from the flight etc, it didnt get dark till after 11pm last night and the sunset was amazing! the sun was so orange! didnt get a pic of that im affraid but hopefuly we'l have some more of those

i flew to seattle and then to anchorage, i had to go through the american thing even before i left vancouver, i have never been asked so many questions at an airport EVER, the guy was like a question machine, it was horrible!!

Fooken hell! Lookit those mountains!

I envy you of your travels Deb. Whistler looked sweet as.

I'm having a bad case of the 'missing-Fuurnee-and-shredding' blues today.

Hope Debbie gets in alright !

Missya dood,
