After a short vacay with the family this weekend in Plain, WA (our family getaways rarely include internet access, hence my absence) I'm sitting in the Wenatchee airport (airport code EAT as in eat Wenatchee apples) waiting for the staff to finish checking people in before they walk down the short hallway to open up security for those of us on the 1:55 flight to Seattle. I highly recommend flying out of the Wenatchee airport if you ever have the option- very low key, no lines, free parking, free wireless, beautiful views of the Cascades on the way to Seattle (the only place you can fly from EAT).

Soon I'll be back in Alaska, I'm hoping it'll be winter when I get there.
