First Alaska Impressions, from Jen
Oh my god, I can’t believe how intensely beautiful it is here. I love it and am so relieved in some ways to see that Brian is getting to love it too. Natives and white people, adventurous people both, intermingling in every way. Great food stores with foods from all over the world. Great beer store. We’re moving!
After a bad first night sleep and major headaches and the baby food lost at New Sagaya’s we rethink our initial exuberance. Adelaide remains calm and content. Jen’s interview is tomorrow…
From The Papa
Flying into desolate cold conditions - the people in the airport all had coolers wraped with tape - what was in there? I could only think of devious things… . It was a long trip and I still needed to find a rental car with Mama, baby and a load of luggage.
The air felt familiar - not too cold. Baby fell instantly asleep once in the car seat in a car and moving to some unknown location known only by name “The Voyager hotel.” We thanked Grampa and Grandma for the GPS we endearingly call Nuvi. Nuvi came through allowing Mamma and Papa to enjoy all that surrounded the road. I was giddy as anyone would be who found themselves exhausted from 12 hours of travel with a baby that did not sleep accompanied by an indulgent mothering mama, doseing of methylphenidate, and surrounded by a new place that my addled mind could only describe at the time to mama as a mix of a Indian reservation border town, Rochester New and the Planet of the Apes. With that perception in mind I naturally announced we’d be moving.
