Long travel day yesterday. We hit the road around 9:00 after wrapping up gratuity business with the lodge and picking up our salmon which the lodge had fileted, vacuum sealed, frozen and boxed for us.
15 hours later (around 3:00 AM local time) we arrived back in Conifer where Brian and Lindsay live. Air Alaska may be a top rated airline but: none of of our flights was on time, we had to wait 3 hours on the ground on the first flight and both our fish and my luggage didn't arrive at the airport with us on the return flight. The latter is supposed to be delivered to the house tonight but our fingers are crossed on whether the fish will still be frozen. The airlines are very accustomed to allowing customers to bring boxes of salmon from Alaska and put big "frozen" stickers on them. We are told they have freezers for situations like ours where the transport time is much longer than normal.
Brian put an Apple Air Tag in each of our suitcases and the gun case so we knew as soon as we landed not only we a couple of our things did not arrive with us but we could see they were still in the Seattle airport. Gone are the days when an airline could spin a yarn about them being put on the wrong plane or stolen!
I'm not sure what the plan is from here but Brian still has to work and is headed out with Brett and friends this weekend. I'd guess I will be headed home soon.
