Arrived in Alaska
It's 8:00 in the evening. I still have my sunglasses on and loving it. Alaska is like no other... I finally arrived in Alaska safe and sound. More importantly, my gear arrived with me safe and sound. It's already been a long day. I got up at 5:00 A.M. and was out the door by 5:30. Talk about feeling like a big loser. I just had dinner at my favorite restaurant(Club Paris) all by myself. Actually, it's the only restaurant I know, but they have the best poached halibut. So I made a reservation for 7:00 P.M. When I arrived the hostess immediately told me they wouldn't have a table until 8:45 or maybe 9:00 P.M. but when I told her my name she lit up and said they have a table for Wes. My table was right in the middle of the place, and during the course of my meal I could feel the eyes just gawking at me. Actually, it really wasn't that bad, and the meal was fabulous. Tomorrow I'll have a late morning and then drive back to the airport to catch the shuttle to Talkeetna. On the flight out today I met a kid that made a last minute decision to go to Kodiak and find work...working on a fishing boat. And I thought I was nuts.
