Adventures sometimes start early in the morning.  Our driver picked us up at the house at 3:30 a.m. (thank you Sara!) and we were off for our adventure to Alaska.  When the clouds allowed we saw the beauty of the earth from 30,000+ feet.  We were in Anchorage by 1:30 p.m. local time (4:30 Central Time), met our friends (Ruth and Randy), got in our rental minivan and we are “on an adventure!”
