Along the last frontier

交通工具 - 飛機
行李得過X光, 上機要登機證的大家都常坐就不稀奇了. 這次介紹都是沒有空橋, 沒有空姐表演默劇的飛機.
這是從Talkeetna機場起飛, 要去Mt. Denali(McKinley是外來名)看風景的紅色6人座, 這一段行程不到兩小時吧.
還有飛去Katmai NP來回的行程, 中間轉機一次, 去程是從Anchorage機場旁的小機場起飛, 這邊比較嚴格一點, 行李要check-in, 但也就只是遞給工作人員, 然後每個人都要秤重量, 工作人員會分別紀錄人和加上隨身行李後的數字, 應該是要計算飛機的負重吧.
去程在Kulik Lodge轉機, 當飛機降落在歲時跑道上停穩後, 左右都是荒煙漫草, 真的很懷疑這是個有人住的地方嗎. 之後來了台箱型車載我們在樹林裏穿梭.
最後到了一個湖岸邊換水上飛機, 好玩的是要起飛時, 湖邊就有一隻熊! 第三張照片, 是到達Katmai後拍的.
離開Katmai一樣從水上起飛, 飛機雖然換了大台的, 但當時風雨不小, 且不知為啥原因, 在湖面上漂泊了快半小時, 有點讓人緊張. 終於起飛時晃啊晃的, 直到成功降落在King Salmon乘客們才鬆了口氣. 從King Salmon回Anchorage是坐有空姐的飛機, 就不介紹了.

旅行的意義
Bass 回到酗咖啡的日子 says: 你幹麻不睡覺
T says: 在聽陳綺貞
********************************************************
離開的前晚, 我們聽著陳綺貞的演唱會專輯, 從腐朽到 After 17 到旅行的意義. 把行李一件一件的打包好.
旅行, 是為了逃避, 為了迎向未知, 還是去重新認識自己和週遭的人?
We were far from 17, but for the next 9 days, it seemed that we were back to our twenties again.
********************************************************
回來過後的某一天, 我把音量開到最大, 讓這首歌一遍一遍地填滿空蕩蕩的屋子.
彷彿
夏天就永遠不會結束
永遠可以期待旅行的來臨
彷彿
就可以和你們一起出現在
不曾去過的演唱會.

8/30 - 9/7 阿拉斯加行程
TC準備了超過半年, 行程改版多次, 利用上班時間打了許許多多電話, 可見他上班多閒.
這中間的難度大概在交通接駁和住宿的確認, 一些較小的地方(例:Seward), 要找到划算的地點不容易吧, 在國家公園內的安排應該也費了一番功夫.

只記得抵達Anchorage隔天(8/31)早上, 照表7am要離開Anchorage, 但我們好像九點十點還在Snowcity Cafe吃豐盛的早餐. 8/31的Harding Ice Field後來沒走上去, 9/5的flight seeing有成行.
