North to Alaska

We are finally on our way and so far, so good.  We flew on Alaska Airlines through Seattle and both flights were on time and mostly smooth.  The airport in Seattle was just remodeled and it has the best airport breakfast ever at the Edgewater Sports Bar.  The weather was mostly cloudy on the second flight but we saw lots of snow capped mountains as we descended into Anchorage.  We got picked up as promised at the airport and bused into town to the Captain Cook Hotel.  Nice place but there's not much in the surrounding downtown area.  We did find the Glacier Bay Brewery thanks to our bus driver, and had some good halibut and salmon along with house brewed heffeweizen. Tomorrow is another early day (7:15am pickup to the train) but we'll be ready.  It helps that Alaska is one hour behind Arizona so our bio clocks get a little break.  McKinley lodge is the next stop!
