Ahhhhh Tuesday. The day to remember all the things I didn’t get done on Monday- and push them off until Wednesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today began without a plan.\u00a0 Sue awoke at 2:30 AM (since she crashed at5:00 PM the night before).\u00a0 We talked for 30 minutes before both of us going back to bead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One more “old picture”…this one happened during one of our travels!\u00a0 Dad loved to travel, Mom not so much!\u00a0 I remember Dad going to Hawaii on a tramp steamer in 1953 by himself…only a few old fuzzy black & white photos still exist today.\u00a0 In 1957, Uncle Chuck, a Captain in the US Army,\u00a0 was transferred to Anchorage Alaska.\u00a0 Chuck said to dad “Come on up” and we did!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dad and I flew on a Northwest Orient Airlines Super Constellation but that, on its own, was a story!\u00a0 After arriving and transferring airplanes in Seattle, we got aboard the Supper “Connie”.\u00a0 About two and a half\u00a0 hours out, I noticed flames on the wing so I asked Dad “Is that normal?”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engine #1 caught fire and had to be shut down.\u00a0 We are fully loaded and half-way to Alaska.\u00a0 The Captains call was return to Seattle as it had a better airport and was closer to Northwest’s hub.\u00a0 It was a 1500 mile trip and the ol’ “Connie” barely did 300 miles per hour at a whopping altitude of 25,000 feet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We turned around and came back to Seattle where we were put up in a hotel.\u00a0 We were on the 12th floor and I was scared all night long (of the room being 12 floors up).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next morning, back to the airport and a new constellation awaited us.\u00a0 We boarded but there were only twelve passengers on a plane that could carry 106.\u00a0 Most of the Japanese passengers took another airlines the previous night as they needed to get to Tokyo for business. Remember, in those days\u00a0 the range of a constellation was almost 5,000 miles and Tokyo was 4,800 miles leaving zero margin so an intermediate stop was required!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spent two weeks in Anchorage and drove all over with Chuck as out guide! It was summer but it got cold in the evenings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch out fore the tides which in Anchorage can be 38′ a day!!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We had a great visit and I will always remember it! Yes, Dad is holding a cigarette which he always had…he quit in 1960 when we went to Urope to visit Uncle Chuck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day was easy as I went out for a few minutes to take care of sub perceptions at CVS, drop by the market, and go to Bed, Bath, and Beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We watched GIlmore Girls, a couple of movies ad then crashed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
