After a long day of travel on Saturday, we spent the night in Juneau and flew to Skagway on Sunday morning. We arrived in Skagway about 9:30 and Ashley and Stimee ran out to meet us on the tarmac! It was so great to hug my girl!! We met Stimee and it was like we have always known him. He is a nice person and he knows everything about Skagway and he knows everONE in Skagway! Our luggage made it to Skagway but our backpacks didn't. We ended up getting them later on Sunday. I was worried because my computer, cameras, kindles, and other assorted gadgetry were in our backpacks. Turned out they were marked "Haines" instead of "Skagway". Like Stimee says, "No drama".
Sunday we went on a driving tour of Skagway and Dyea. I had almost forgotten how beautiful it is here.
Yesterday we hung out in Skagway. We saw Ashley's talk on the routes to the gold rush and we participated in her walking tour. That was fund. Of course the highlight of the day was when I locked Ashleys' keys in her car. No drama. Stimee just broke into her car and got them out. Now I understand why Ashley calls him McGiver.
More later....gotta run.
