I have to be up very early in the morning tomorrow, almost to the point that it counts as tonight, to catch a ride into Anchorage. I will then spend much of the morning and some of the afternoon waiting for my plane. I have one change of planes in Seattle with a four hour layover. All-in-all, I will be up at 2:30 am Alaska Time to start this trek and will arrive in Detroit at about 2:30 am Alaska Time (6:30 Michigan). Interestingly, I will be spending more days travelling than I will actually be in Michigan.
It is looking like Friday evening will be the best time for me to hang out with people (not including family) on this trip. I will also be spending a good chunk of time packing the UHaul (after I get one). I'd be quite willing to see people then too.
