Day Twenty Six, Anchorage & Farewell to Rose and Bill

Today we found an Episcopal church, St. Mary’s, and attended their 10:00 service.  This is our last day with Rose and Bill.  It's been 26 day and 25 sleeps.   For Bill that means 25 times of blowing up the air matress and 25 times to deflate it and stow it away.  It's all been fun, some days more than others.  We had many high-mileage days getting to the Alaskan Highway and many hours of driving through road construction.  I guess nothing comes easy; it's the price you pay to see this beautiful state of Alsaska.  There are things we would have done differently, but we didn't think about it until it was over.

Their flight leaves at 1:00 A.M. Monday, so we needed to get them to the airport by 11:00.  After church, we spent most of the day at the MH packing and relaxing.  We did sneak in a couple of games of cards, had dinner, and drove by the float plane airport on the way to the big airport.  There are hundreds of float planes and hundreds of regular planes at the small airport.  The planes with rubber tires taxi on the streets in this area, and they do have the right-of-way.  One in sixty Alaskans own airplanes.  The population of Anchorage is over 200,000 and that means a lot of airplanes.  Not too far from our RV park is Merrill Field that is for small airplanes only.
