Is it really necessary to dress as if you're about to give a keynote address while flying? I'm not sure why that bothers me so much--perhaps because my mother is a flyer-dresser-upper. It just seems so ridiculous to me. The way I see it, there are two options when flying: you will arrive at your destination wrinkled and tired or you'll die in a fiery crash. (Neither of these options seem to promote dressing to the nines.)
Another thing I noticed while flying--Alaska is VERY FAR AWAY. I thought we were never going to arrive. Time goes by quite s l o w l y when you are smashed between your family members for 7 hours. Our plane was over booked and completely full. We sat in row 34. THIRTY FOUR. Of course, this is the last row of the plane so we hung out with the flight crew and all of the people waiting in line for the restroom.
No one gives you any food while flying anymore. You are coerced into buying a "snack pack" or just flying for 7 hours with the pretzels and drink that are surprisingly still complimentary. Eliot and I each got a snack pack and found them to be delicious.
I have been trying to insert a photo here and the site keeps crashing. Another thing to note: high-speed internet in Alaska does not mean what high-speed internet in Indianapolis does.
It is 1:30 in the AM on my body and only 9:30 PM in here, but I've got to go to bed. I am going to try and figure out the picture situation tomorrow. We pick our rental car up in the morning and being to explore Anchorage. I'm sure I'll have more to report soon.

Happy to hear that you made it safely to beautiful Alaska! I can't wait to see some photos. I am not a dresser upper when I fly either. I prefer casual comfort.
I tried leaving you a message this morning, but this damned site ate it!
Who wants to wear pantyhose, *ever*, much less when crammed onto a plane for 900 hours. I'm with you.
We miss you terribly, and Adolf has already started cleaning everything in sight to help deal with the grief.
COme back sooon!

I can't wait to see your pics and read more about your Alaskian adventure. I'm not sure why my text didn't pop up on my last eCard... I wanted to wish you a safe and fun trip! Have fun, relax and enjoy yourself! You deserve it! And, enjoy getting crabs. Alaskian King Crab that is. Oh, and be sure to do the "Iceburgh right ahead!" line from Titanic when you see an iceberg (you must do it in the same accent too).
Oh, and yes, Adolf is cleaning through his grief. I've already gotten a phone call and an email about moving things/what should we do with (insert old display item here). LOL!
I always wear a three piece suit when I travel...
You better get that photo thing figured out pretty soon. We're not going to put up with 1000 words from you every day while you're gone.
BTW, I'm trying to see how many things we can move around. I started with the Cropper Hoppers in the Chamber.
