First, Kenneth and Melinda had to catch the bus into the Visitor Center so that they could head to Anchorage and catch their plane. They knew their bus would arrive at 10:10, and it potentially could be full. The plan was for them to be at the bus stop by 10. Didn't happen. They rushed out the door to get to the bus stop. To all of our surprise, the bus was already there. We didn't even get to hug them good-bye.
After they boarded, the bus driver placed a "Sorry, Bus Full" sign in the window. Whew! If Kenneth and Melinda had missed this bus, they would have had a rush to make their flight. As it was, everything went well (including avoiding a moose on the road), and they made it home fine.
In the meantime, Bart and Jerri were preparing to leave. Although originally they were not going to leave until Saturday, Bart wanted to get part way to Anchorage so that Saturday would not be so difficult. So at about 2:00, he, Jerri, Jess, and Kate pulled out.
After they got on the road, I cried. It was the end of what had been a fabulous few weeks. With Diana, Teri, Kenneth, Melinda, Bart, and Jerri joining us at various times during the trip, Katie, Chris and we had only had two days where it was just the four of us. It was a strange feeling. Having the "fam" together at various times only enhanced the fun we had. This will be a trip we will always remember!
