But let's get back to the start:
I was so excited , I did'nt sleep much that night. My best friend brought me fresh Croissants - though I could hardly eat something - and I had a really warm goodby from my neighbours. Together with my sisters with families I drove to the airport and of course: many hugs and tears until I finally could go through the security check. I think that was the most feared moment. But once I passed the security check it was like something was fallen away from me: it was not a pan anymore, it was REAL!! I was on the way to Alaska!
The flight was ok, I watched a sort of strange Iceland-movie and because of the deleay we had already in Zürich the change in Reykjavik was without any waiting. I was tired menawhile but did ot want to fall asleep already. Would make the change of time even more difficult.
But the scenery I was able to see from my window seat was that amazing I just did not have the time to sleep. We flew directly over Grönland and I've hardly ever seen something impressing and beautiful before. And to know that this incredebile area is in enviromental danger makes it even more impressing.
Landing in Anchorage then was easy. As it was Sunday there have been almost no travellers at the airport and I had shortly after goig through the customs I shuttle bus ("people mover") that brought me into town. After checking-in at the hostel (Alaska Bent & Prop Inn) I just went for a short walk. I did not want sleep already as it was daylight until 11.45pm!!
And I found the perfect place for my "welcome-beer" :-)
