The Adventure:  Trip up to Ancorage, AK

Time Frame: 25 hours in early March, 1999

Circumstances:  I flew up to Seattle to hang out for a week, Greg flew into Seattle from Spokane, and Scott, well Scott was alread in town.  Scott hooked us up with tickets up to Ancorage.  We hit Ancorage at 2 am, crashed out on the floor for 6 hours, and waited for Amy to come and pick us up from the airport.  And thus the adventure begins.
