back to the city...

Eventually, the fun had to come to an end. Another week after the blizzard and we were headed back to the city. You're never sure you're leaving until the plane actually shows up because the weather can be forecast to be great, then be complete crap. Or, it may be crap at the departure location but great where you are....gotta be good weather both ways. Luckily for us, after extensions and unavailability of aircraft that caused us to spend almost an additional week on Allen Island, our final scheduled departure actually happened on time and on the scheduled day. However, the weather became bad on our way in and they couldn't get back to get our gear that day. Thank goodness they decided to take us people out first rather than our gear---which was the initial plan because we would have been there to help the pilots load up the gear.
My first order of business was to do laundry!! The hotel has facilities which is awesome. We all had a wonderful hot shower and enjoyed those fluffy clean beds!!Read more
