We are now in Alaska

We arrived in Anchorage this morning at midnight.  We went to the scuzziest hotel I've been to for 4 hours of sleep.  Then we flew to the "city" where the district office is.  I forgot my fleece on the east coast.  If you found a black, zip up, Northface fleece it's mine.  Please send it priority (it's only 46 degrees here right now).  

The inflight movie on the first leg (to Salt Lake) was the new Star Trek.  That was S's intro to that world.  I thought it was excellent (you know, for what it is).  The second leg of the trip featured "My Life in Ruins."  We watched "Watchmen" on the laptop instead.  The old biker guy sitting next to us got into a fight with his wife.  She found a different seat for most of the flight.  He had a very odd way of moving wherein he did not move very much but when he did his movements were very fast and violent.  Anyway. 

We're in the district office now.  There were a bunch of us on the last leg of the flight and they picked us up at the "airport" (just a warehouse as far as we could tell).  We filled out a bunch of paperwork (even though we sent them voluminous amounts of paperwork already), got our computers (new MacBook Pros- one each!) and now we are waiting to be driven to the hotel.  

I think we're going to try to find some food now- no meals since 4 PM yesterday (and that was a bad burrito at the airport in Boston).  Three days of district training and then we go to the village on Thursday night.
