Last Day on the Last Frontier

Our last day in Alaska was different. We were already tired from all the travel, but decided to try a few more things. We had to check out of our hotel because we were due to fly back at 11:35 p.m. on Tuesday. We decided to try to drive south again. Didn't go as far as we wanted due to snow. We decided we did not want to wait 45 minutes to pay $12 to drive through a tunnel to wait again and pay again to come back through, so we drove back to Anchorage. We drove around, looking at the sights, and searching for a wild moose. Never did see one. We ate at an expensive restaurant downtown and then shopped for souvies at the large downtown mall. All shopped out, we decided to go to the airport a little early since we were done. Too bad the airline baggage did not open up until 7:30. So we were stuck in the airport with our luggage and only a small bar for food. But that didn't stop us from eating pizza and bread sticks. Time passed ever so slowly until we finally boarded the plane for the 5 hour flight back to Denver. The best part of the flight was that it was over night. At least we didn't have to watch some dumb movie that we had already seen.
