In Valdez for 5 days, 3 days of flight time booked already.

Taking some kites too just in case.

Lance- have you flown with them?

lance_k · Since 04 May 2005 565 Posts Hood River Photographer

yup. i was there for 3 weeks and got in only 2 days. gamboo weather came in and shut everything down.

that's an optimistic schedule but hell it does happen.

we got so bored we drank a whole bottle of NyQuil* just to see if we'd trip. we did.

*disclamer. don't try this at home kiddies. i was young, needed the money and for the record i was indeed ill. most things that happen there don't translate here anyways.
