So...where was I?

So we got in to Seattle at like 1:00, got our hotel voucher, and spent the night at the Gateway Radison.We got about 6 and a half hours of sleep before it was time to get up again... (By the way - we've now officially tried that sleep by number bed - not big fans, Grant and I, of the sleep by number system...)

This morning we woke up and had breakfast at the hotel with our voucher from the airline. Then we went to the airport and got on our flight to Fairbanks (via Anchorage). Luckily thought, we were in first class, so we had a free meal and free use of the video screens (Dig E players) with movies and TV shows.

We finally got to Fairbanks (and all of our luggage made it as well!) We got to our hotel at around 4:30. Mom and Bobby were already here (they had gotten in last night). We checked in and chatted and then we headed out to go to dinner. We stopped at the Fudge Pot and bought some fudge to eat on the train tomorrow.

We had dinner at a place called Past Bella...I had Eggplant Parmigiana, Bobby had lasagna, and Mom and Grant had Chicken of the Sun (CHicken sauteed with garlic and sundried tomatoes.)

We are back at the hotel and getting ready for bed... we have to take the 7:00 shuttle so we have to get up early.

Gary and Donna decided not to come to fairbanks and take the train becasue if the risk of the trains not running, so they will drive up to Talkeetna and meet us tomorrow.

Good night
