Longest Day ever

My sister stayed over our place last night too inform Liz and I how to use her GoPro.  Out of anxiety I got about an hour and a  half of sleep before getting up at 3:15am.  Thanks for the ride to BWI. Being cheap lead us to multiple layovers; 2 on the way to Alaska (about 9 hours worth).

A few minutes after getting out of the car and walking into the airport we encountered our first surprise. Our first flight and the itenerary is wrong. Luckily, airport staff got everything figured out. Hopefully no more issues on the way there.

It's just about 7 am. Waiting to board the first flight. My anxiety is through the roof. Liz calmly supportive of my fear of flying took over for a little while.

Update 1: departure delayed. It's 9:37am and we've been sitting on the runway since 8. Apparently if our plane doesn't "make a deal" (captian said). We're going to be delayed a few hours. Not sure if this has been better than a work day...

Update 2. Well, we "made a deal" still unsure of what that means. Both Liz and I are exhausted. Currently it's 2:55p (time zone change) waiting to board our second of three flights for the day. We ate at Goose brewing company. She opted for a blue moon, and I a wheat ale; absolutely exhausted.

Update 3. We made it to Seattle. Got a tiny bit of sleep. Flight had been delayed too. Sitting here at 9pm west coast time.

Update 4. At 12:22 Alaskan time we’ve officially landed.
