Today is our last day on the Mainland! From here-on-out we'll be living on an island!
The morning got off slow, as usual. We went to CostCo in Anchorage and picked up the 500+ pictures we uploaded online & ordered the night before. And after that we hit the road. The drive went pretty quick and before we knew it we were almost there and it was already 6pm! Our drive today took us through the Kenai Pennisula, which was beautiful!
We ate dinner along the Homer Spit and then lined up for the Ferry. We checked in to the Ferry Terminal at 7:30pm and didn't actually board the boat until after 10pm. It was a LONG process and we were both so nervous about actually arriving in Kodiak.
We had to unhitch the Jeep from the truck and drive them in seperately. Whouldn't you know it...the Jeep broke down on the ferry loading ramp! Heck...we made it this far!! We just hitched it back up to the truck and towed it on. Chris did an amazing job manuevering it onto the boat with the truck in reverse.
We got on the boat and into our "stateroom." The boat overall was like a nice version of the Catalina Flyer (which I'm sure you've all been on.) Our "stateroom" was a small closet-space with a bunkbed. It was easy to fall asleep on the boat with the slow rocking...but I was so sick when I woke up (because of the slow rocking & the nerves.)
Emily did well on the boat...gosh...if she only knew how far we've come to get where we are!
