Alaska Adventures: From Anchorage to Twin Hills

"It feels good to be lost in the right direction"- Anonymous

Dear Friends and Family:
A lot has happened since that picture above was taken on the last night in Anchorage on Sunday August 2nd! Cassie and I are posing at the top of a Mount Flat Top lookout point! A friend had me get in touch with her parents and I am so grateful that I did. Now I know friends in Anchorage. Thank you Brittany, Mary, and Steve!
Monday morning Cassie and I got up and prepared ourselves for our next part of the journey to our new home. I think Cassie was starting to think I was telling her tales for we I have been promising Cassie we would be moving to a house for over a month. In Anchorage I had the opportunity to meet Meghan Redmond who is the Lead Teacher at Twin Hills school. I also met her husband Andy and her adorable daughter Liberty. Their dogs Ash and Piper rode in cargo while Cassie once again got to fly in cabin.
Once we arrived in Dillingham I was greeted by the staff of the Southwest Region School District. Sherry was kind enough to take Cassie for a quick walk while I waited on my luggage. I want to say there were 2 gates out of this airport and the run way was a lot shorter. Baggage claim was not on a big carousel, therefore the small airport quickly became crowded when it was time to retrieve luggage. Once my luggage was retrieved and Cassie and I were checked in for our air taxi ride to Twin Hills Sherry gave me a tour of Dillingham. Great little town and definitely a place to get a lot of my shopping done.

Since Cassie and I were riding over to Twin Hills with Meghan and her family we waited until Grant Aviation would take us at 4pm. We had a lot of down time in which there was not much to really do but hang out in the lounge. Checking in was interesting. Not only do they want the weight of your items that you check in, but your personal weight too! As you will see below this aircraft is small and it takes a lot of cargo and not so many passengers!

This was our ride to Twin Hills! I thought I would be nervous but I loved it. I almost fell asleep as usual but did not want to miss the scenery below as we flew!
