Daily Didactic
Alright, day twenty-two. We reversed our path to Bainbridge Island from a few days earlier and boarded a plane for Juneau. Yes, not Anchorage but that is sometimes how mileage tickets work. We slept the two hours to Juneau and hung out in the airport lounge for three hours when we got there. Not glamorous, but painless. The last chunk of our trip was an uneventful hour and twenty-five minute flight to Anchorage where we were met by Al and Oscar.
It was a beautiful sunny evening and it was great to get home.
