Denali

Denali - early in the season. Think 'Fawlty Towers', or is that Farty Towels.
If things could go wrong then yesterday & this morning were when it was happening.

Yesterday on the train they ran out of lunch.
Transfer coach from train to accommodation didn't arrive.
Absolute chaos at hotel regarding check-in.
I ended up in a shared broom cupboard with a shared bathroom and the lift well next to me.
Bus to take us to evening entertainment wasn't booked - we got there late.
THIS MORNING................ no breakfast. One & half hours after first of the group turned up for breakfast we finally were allowed in the dinning room.

Still, the sun is shining and as long as the train takes us to Fairbanks AND our bags have arrived ahead of us, we'll be happy.

No aurora. Maybe tonight.

Hi Zena and Merlyn,
Sounds like a few hickups to keep you on your toes!

Michele said she is expecting a demo of chicken dance when you get home!!!
Enjoy rest of your trip, love Carol
