Ok, after spending nearly an hour writing a blog entry only for the site to expire, you're now gonna get the edited version!! After arriving in Alaska, we quickly realised how bloody heavy our bags were when we had to carry them to the taxi...may have to get rid of some stuff!! Spent the 1st night at Jason's Youth Hostel, £15pppn but included free internet and a huge breakfast with as much tea and coffee as u want!! :) Full use was of course made of this facili...

Minneapolis Airport. When we disembarked in Minneapolis it was 36 degrees!!! After a brief snooze on the floor waking up to find Andy had abandoned me we went for a wander but couldnt find any free wifi. Left there at what was to us 4.30am on a further 5 hour flight to Anchorage , Alaska.

We travelled for about 25 hours from start to finish!! Leaving the flat at 8.30 after handing in my keys, getting to Heathrow at 11.30 only to be told our return flight dates were 2 days over the ESTA limit so we had to pay £180 to change them!! Wasnt happy about this and told the travel agent so...he has since agreed it was their fault and refunded the money :) We flew out at 2.25pm on a 9 hour flight to Minneapolis.
