So we finally arrived in Fairbanks just after midnight last Friday night.
I mean last Saturday morning.
Oh, whatever! It’s light most of the time here and it’s difficult to tell what time of day it is.
Even at 12:45 am, the sky was not really dark. It seemed to be more of an extended twilight time for a few hours, waiting for sunrise.
The airport was quite busy at that time, oddly enough, filled with excited people going on once-in-a-lifetime Alaska cruise vacations.
We were less excited, with our tired kids and our twelve suitcases, not counting carry-on baggage.
Little Girl commented as we stepped outside into the not-really dark of summer late-night in Alaska: “Why is the air conditioner on outside?”
Oh, child. They’re about to turn that A/C waaaay up…
