House Hunting - Day 1

It was a long day of travel yesterday but I finally arrived in Alaska!! We were having a snowstorm in Chicago and we had to wait at the gate for well over an hour waiting to be de-iced. Then we finally got up in the air and the pilot said we were flying against headwinds which meant that it was going to be over 7 hours in flight! But it could've been worse, much worse.

I got up at my usual time today 7am which is 4am in Alaska. Ouch. At 9am it was still dark outside! I looked up sunrise on my phone and took this picture. You read right, 10am!

Well, house hunting was interesting. I saw 9 houses, and only 2 were possible contenders. All but one were vacant, kinda sad really. We're going to see 4 more tomorrow then that finishes the list. It's disappointing but not all that surprising considering it is December.
