First Day in Alaska!

First - a Big thanks to Sebastian who woke up at 5:30am and drove me to the airport. I checked in my bags - and boarded my flight to Seattle. Then short transfer to another plane and then toward Alaska! The scenery is always so amazing when flying to Alaska.

And I got to watch Slumdog Millionaire with the DigEplayer from Alaska Airlines. Really cool.
I arrived to cloudy skies in Anchorage and had a fun time finding a ride from Anchorage to Alyeska. I finally found a ride on a "bus line" which turned out to be a van stuffed with supplies and some people. Regardless - the scenery was great. I even took a little nap and they missed my stop. No worries, they turned around and dropped me off at the gas station outside of Girdwood. After a few tries, I hitched a ride with a nice contractor up to the Hostel. It worked out well. Snow falling all day and I headed toward the mountain to get some grub. I ended up going to the Sitzmark for some tacos. I met a couple locals - Ryan and Gwen. They are going to show me around the mountain on Thursday. Did some work, then the live music started playing so I enjoyed that. Then headed home to get some Zs before my first day skiing in Alaska!
