We got up early this morning to catch our flight at noon. We loaded all our bags into the car and drove to Micky D’s for breakfast. We then drove to the airport and checked-in our bags.
The flight was 6 hours 46 minutes from Houston, pretty long but it was a smooth flight. There was a marathon on Saturday in Anchorage, so the flight was quite full. We landed at the Anchorage airport at 4:20pm local time. The weather was in the mid 70s, which is higher than what we expected, but not as humid as in Houston, so we were ok with that. :-D After we collected our bags, we headed out to get a cab to go to Enterprise car rental. I rented from an Enterprise downtown because it is cheaper even with the cab fare to the rental place. The cab driver was extremely friendly; he pretty much gave us a guided tour from the airport to the rental car place. He even offered to drive us to the Ship Creek to see a salmon run. But we were in a hurry to get our rental car before the close of business, so we declined his offer.
After we picked up the car, we drove to the Coastal Trail B&B, where we are staying for the night. Sheri, the owner of the B&B, is friendly and helpful. Our room has two Queen-sized beds; the beds are comfortable and the room is very cozy.
We had dinner that evening at the Glacier Brew House. The food was good but the place is pretty busy, so reservation is recommended. Their halibut dinner and salmon special is great. It took a long time for our dinner to be served, so the manager gave us complimentary desserts, which was nice. After dinner, we headed back to the B&B. Even though we were tired (because of the time zone difference) we took a walk in the park in front of the B&B. Here are some pictures I took. These pictures were taken about 11pm, as you can see, the sun was still out at that time.
