Bao in bed in Anchorage Alaska

The good news is that Alaska Airlines is fantastic. You leave on time. You get there on time. The staff smile at you, and say please and thank you. And they loved Bao.
The bad news is that their only flight out of Tucson is the one to Seattle. Bummer! I'd love to fly this airline all the time.
It was still light when we got here. They get 18 hours of daylight this time of year. Even when it's dark, it's light. Weird, although it didn't worry Bao.
Anchorage doesn't look to be a very big place. But the scenery flying in was magnificent, like what I imagine the Scandinavian fjiords must look like from the air. We saw glaciers, too. The flight alone was worth the trip.
Today, sightseeing. Tomorrow, the Writers Conference.
