...12.25...Merry Christmas from ALASKA...

...arrived at the airport...Christmas Eve...

...which is not a crowded travel day...

...our airplane has not yet arrived...

...but the airport is empty...

...so we stopped at Dunkin Donuts for a little brekkie...I got avocado toast and it was really good...

...on our way through tsa...the Grinch was there handing out candy canes...it was chocolate mint...so I swirled it into my coffee and it was really good...

...the plane arrived...

...fun to see the little shadow down there...

...the usual snacks...

...and drinks...I almost always ask them to mix OJ and cranberry for me...and they always do...

...the Atlanta skyline...

...the Fly Delta sign...more impressive at night...but nice during the daytime too...

...Atlanta Sky Club...

...we sat by the window and watched the busy-ness below...

...Atlanta was a little bit more crowded but not a typical packed Sky Club...

...time to board...

...taxiing...

...the Fly Delta sign at night...

...leaving Atlanta...

...the Man almost always watches the flight tracker on his screen...

...dinner was served...I've had this exact chickpea curry dinner before...it's good...

...time for a movie...the new Grinch movie...it was good...gotta love the Grinch...

...late night snacks...

...almost to Seattle...

...Seattle at night...

...we just had a short 1 hour layover so we hopped onto our next jet pretty quickly...and found blankets and pillows waiting for us...

...this view of the tracker shows the last leg of the trip...and exactly how far NORTH we'll be going...astounding...

...on the ground in Fairbanks Alaska...about 2 AM AST...

...the Artic Airborne welcomes you to Alaska...sweet...

...and so does the Bumble...of course...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
