Wednesday. This way out last group picture with all of us together.
I forgot to say that last night when we camped, Amys forward cabin got soaked from the rain kicking back into the trailer. She and Harold went to the local laundromat called the WishyWashy to wash and dry their sheets and padding.
We got up in the morning with the purpose of 1)taking Tim's bike to the Anchorage Yamaha dealer to change the rear tire, 2)take Debbie and Becky to the Anchorage Airport to fly home, and 3)stop at FedEx to pick up Shelley's license that she had mistakenly left at home. (Sarah sent it up for her)
* The Anchorage Yamaha Dealer was fantastic and according the guys one of the best equipped dealerships they have ever been to. They got the tire changed, tightened Tim's belt, and washed his bike.
* The Garmin is invaluable. We made our way to the airport without any problem and got our "sistas" off. We will sorely miss them on our trip as each of us had found our niche in the group.
* Fed Ex was HUGE next to the airport. We found the office door and went in. I had my package in 5 minutes....and they were nice. I just want to say that other than the waitress at the Prospector Pizza (she was from Cali), everyone in Alaska has been SOOO nice.
While the bike was getting the tire changed, we went to a local hot spot called Gwennies for breakfast. We knew from the crowded parking lot that it was a great place. It was fantastic and rates up there right now with our top 5 restaurants! Breakfast was fabulous.
On the road again.... Anchorage to Seward. It is about a 138 miles along the coast line down to Seward. It was beautiful. We stopped by Beluga Point and took some pictures. (I will post. Our WiFi is slow at this campground) Ahum...still no wild animals even though all the road signs warn us about them!
Seward is a quaint fishing village. We went out to the end of the highway road, (T-intersection) and then turned right and then you go to the end of the road to Millers Crossing. We set up camp at the endpoint of town on the water. It has washers and we did laundry before going to dinner.
Dinner on Wednesday night was at Rays on the Water in the harbor of Seward. Tim was tipped off by a neighbor. The food was good. (pricey) The view was fabulous. The blue skies with clouds low against the mountains were so great that the waitresses exclaimed that it was too beautiful of a day to waste working. It makes us think that good weather fortune has again shone down upon us. And....not to jinx us....we have not been bothered by mosquitoes.
It is cool tonight on the water. Tomorrow is our boat out in the the Kenai Fjords. We have talked to people who saw whales etc... this week.
Debbie and Becky's end of trip what they brought and didn't need:
Deb: A white shirt
Becky: clothes
Off to bed. xxoo
I am so glad that the fed-ex people up there were nice to you. Freak- the fed-ex in Orem needs to take a lesson. They were RUDE! But I am glad you guys got up there okay!
