Just when I’d reconciled myself to the fact that I wasn’t going to be able to afford to head up to Alaska this summer like I’d been planning to see James and Stacy get hitched, what do some of my friends do but chip in to help me out with the cost of the plane ticket.
Pretty cool, eh? My friends rock. R-A-W-K rawk!
I got the flight confirmation e-mailed to me this morning right before work. As it stands, I’ll be flying out of here at 12:25pm on Friday June 21st, arriving in Anchorage that same day at 3:01pm. I’ll be up there all through the weekend, flying back down Monday night, leaving at 8:30pm and arriving back in Seattle at 12:45am.
In other news, I got two more small packages from my parents. Knowing my sweet tooth all to well, one was a bottle of Nutella. The other made me laugh — a climbers D-ring with a key ring attachment that has a compass attached to it. Given the fact that it came with a note that said, “Don’t get lost!” I’m pretty sure it was inspired by my lamenting my lack of a compass back when I was first trying to find my way around the Microsoft campus.
Y’know — my friends and my parents rock. Too cool.
