Mmkay. Here we go. It all started on Sunday. I woke up at 8, mostly packed already, and finished packing all the things I couldn't pack the night before: toiletries, sleepin' jester, etc. We left the house at 10, picked up my grandma, then went to pick up my aunt Celine. My uncle Russ (who sadly is the one related to me by blood) decided it'd be great fun to tie all the pocket ties on my pants together. In double knots. Amusing, and it gave me something to do on the way to the bus station. So we get to the bus station in Braintree (dumbass name for a town), and Mom gave me money, which made me feel bad cuz she'd just bought me an MP3 player the day before (I'm not sure why, but I'm not complaining except for the fact that I had just bought a new CD player a few days before, hehe). So we take the bus to the airport, pick up my ticket, check my luggage, blahdy blahdy blah. We went to a sammich shop and picked up... well, sammiches, for the plane ride, and yeah. Uneventful plane ride for the most part. The dude diagonally in front of me was picking his nose. Also, we went through a tiny bit of turbulence. I hate turbulence, so I put on my headphones. I was kinda pissed when the first two songs that played were "Join Me in Death" by HIM and "As the World Falls Down" by David Bowie. Not very reassuring songs.
We landed in San Fransisco and tookah a lookah at the souvenirs. Wow. The few shirts that weren't obscenely bright were covered in rhinestones. Amusing. Then we got burgers and went on the flight to anchorage. Uncle Kurt picked us up, and by this time it was 4:30 am eastern time. We got to the house, found the beds and passed out.
The thing that scares me is that I was the earliest one up (of the travelers). I woke up (by myself) at 8 (noon eastern time), and there was coffee and relaxing all around. We went on a hike at a park later that day, and went to the information center where I got to touch pretty animal pelts.
Tuesday we went on a cruise to see the glaciers! And even better, we took a TRAIN to get there! (I love trains). So ladeedadeeda traintraintrain, then we get there and sit at our seat, but it's a sex-person table and theres five of us, and the sixth seat was for this little Japanese guy! He sat with us for a little while, but there was an empty table so he moved there. And we saw otters and seals and a minky whale! More later, I'm getting bored.
