Day 1 - Sitka, Alaska

Today was a long day.
I left my apartment at 5am and caught a 7:15am flight out of Newark headed to Seattle. I met up with David in Seattle and together we flew to Sitka where the gentleman who runs our B&B, Mike, met us. He said the airport was packed because of bad weather in Ketchican so the airport was crowded (there were THREE planes there). Mike gave us a quick tour of Sitka. I was amused by how many times he said "at the end of this road..." There are only a handful of main roads and they all end. At the end of one is the airport. At the end of another is an outlet where he took us to see THOUSANDS of salmon. He said it was a good spot to see bear at night, preying on the fish. We dropped our stuff off at the B&B then hit the city. For dinner David got halibut fish and chips and it cost $28.95. I had nachos and a side salad because they were the only two vegetarian options on the menu.
Mike and Marilyn said we came on a good day because the weather was nice.
