Ready or not, here I come!

View from the plane; there were a lot of clouds though, so it’s kind of hard to see the mountains.

What a wonderful day of traveling… I got to the airport around 10:30am (Atlanta Time) and landed in Alaska a little ahead of schedule around 6:45pm (Alaska Time -4 hours difference) totaling ~12 hours of travel! I read almost 2 books, watched a movie, met some nice strangers… haha. It really was a smooth, uneventful trip-- the best kind. Jenn picked me up from the airport and we drove into Girdwood to unpack and get dinner. It was SO great to see Jenn and have the drive to catch up.  We got to the house, caught up with Scott, and I met the 4 summer interns.  Dinner was fantastic... Reindeer dogs (think really yummy hot dogs), chili, and potatoes.  I wasn't feeling to great so I just had a reindeer dog and LOTS of water.

On the flight to AK, I noticed it becoming a little hard to swallow... At dinner I started feeling really yucky, with body aches and a few chills (probably a fever!) so shortly after eating I went to bed.  It was about 10:30 (2:30am our time) so I was really exhausted! I got up around 8 this morning and I already feel a ton better after a great night’s sleep, but we’ll see how the day goes. I might be visiting the clinic if this keeps up. We’re backpacking in less than a week- leaving on Monday, so I absolutely MUST be healthy by then!!

I am missing out on a soccer camp for kids this morning, but I will be able to rest up and hopefully get back to 100% instead.  There will be a few low key things I can help Jenn with around the house today anyway, so that'll work out!

View out my window; so I took this picture this morning, around 8am, but it’s almost identical to the one I took at 10:30 last night! Love all this light… :-)
