I'm home! I actually got home at 6 something but I took a really long nap haha. I had to get up at 5 to go to the airport..ughh. It was sad leaving..I don't know when I'll be back which made it even more sad. Aw. We drove back to Chicago..while waiting at the ticket line there was this lady FREAKING OUT..she was BEGGING the lady to check her bags even though she was too late. She kept saying "please" over and over but the ticket lady couldn't do anything. She screamed out one last "PLEEEEASE!" and the lady walked away to help someone else. It was quite uncomfortable. I wonder what happened to her and her son. We got on the loooong flight to Anchorage..I think it was longer this time..6 hours and some minutes! Eesh. Though it did have free Internet access! Coool haha. I used it till it didn't work in Canadian airspace. I got soo bored eventually..and the guy behind us was SNORING..LOUDLY. Ughh. Eventually there were mountains and after awhile we were suddenly in glacier land..it was like we entered into the ice age or something. Huge glaciers with sweet moraines..and one was really long. Just as it started getting good it got cloudy! I waited to see if it would clear up..and it did..and the glaciers were still there. Except now I actually recognized the ones we were flying by! Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Coxe, Cascade, Barry, Knik, Harriman...EEE! It was 7589745 times more amazing than flying back from Seattle in March. It was soo pretty and amazing..woww. I may have taken a bit too many pics. :P Descending into Anchorage I saw Mt. Foraker and McKinley! I was excited for the view of them flying home! I think I saw a couple of volcanoes too but not sure which. After we landed I got a text from Ryan saying dad was coming to Alaska! Mom and I were like "WHAT??" haha. I called Ryan and he said dad was flying to Anchorage. It was REALLY funny since we had just landed in Anchorage. :P We had a bit of a layover at Anchorage so we had dinner at Chili's and checked out the place where Dana said she slept haha. We departed Anchorage and the view of Foraker and McKinley and mountains between them were really beautiful. I didn't really see any glaciers but I saw them last time..then it got pretty cloudy again..boo. It seemed like we were in the air for like 10 minutes when we started to descend haha. It was nice weather in Fairbanks..sunny, warm..ahh. I get to see Abby tomorrow. :D I shall post my pics tomorrow too
