Alaska - Day 1

Posted 2 years, 9 months ago on June 25, 2006 by yerma  trips

Have now been travelling for roughly 27 hours and just got to my hotel room in Anchorage. Stopovers in Newark and Portland both seem like lifetimes away especially due to the time difference and me trying to set my bodyclock as we go. The flight into Portland was just stunning - it looks like google earth with your terrain maps turned on, the view of thr mountains just appearing out of the ground and the beautiful treelined landscape were absolutely awe-inspiring. I kinda wish I'd brought my proper camera instead of the one on my mobile phone which I couldn't switch on anyway. Alaska is still light at 2.15am - not full brightness but about dusk which is incredible to see.
The computers were all screwed up in my departure airport which meant that luggage labels etc were all handwritten, I was very skeptical about seeing my bags again but surprisingly enough they showed up as planned at anchorage airport. Time to hit the sack.......
