We arrived!!
We've spent the entire day flying (and, boy are my arms tired!) but we finally arrived in Anchorage!  It is about 20 degrees out but really clear and beautiful.  From our window at the hotel we can see a park where there are sled dogs running in a circle - I wonder if they're giving rides?  We'll check that out tomorrow.
A few people have asked how far Alaska is from Connecticut.  If you click the link below, I created an animated trip so you can see where I am.
