Friday when I arrived 2011, there were 80 mile an hour winds and -4 before the wind chill. The snow was Saturday and Sunday. Sunday when we tried to leave more snow, they de-iced the plane twice, that was interesting to watch, ( used to be a flight instructor back in the 1970's taught out of San Jose Intl, and Palo Alto airports) there was a break in the clouds and the plane took off. It was quite a trip. When Jade and I were King and Queen in 2009 I couldn't go to Alaska, he had temps of 59 with snow melting. When I got back from Alaska, I asked Jade how come he had warm weather and I had -4 and winds of 80 MPH and snow, he just laughed and said Alaska wanted to give me a true experience of what Alaska was really like.

I loved the trip, and the people, and hope some day to return.
