So it's almost one in the morning and I leave for the airport at 3:15 a.m. I guess I won't be getting much sleep. Alaska, here I come. The forecast: 10 days of rain! I am hopeful that the meteorologists are wrong... as usual. I arrive in Ketchikan tomorrow morning and leave from Juneau more than a week later. 10 days of ferry rides, car rentals, hikes, kayak trips, and whatever else may come. Even though I am excited, I know that I will miss my sweet doll and my pup. So I'm just about packed, aside from the bathroom essentials. I've made my postcard list, although there are some missing addresses, and I've cleaned out my purse (which was long overdue).

Today, well yesterday, was Father's Day. Ben and I drove to my dad's and then returned home for a small gathering that Grandma arranged.

On Friday night, Ben and I met Jo in Hollywood to see the Mammals at the Tangier. Here are a couple pictures from the show. A great time was had by all.
