OCT 26, 26..ALL IS WELL THAT ENDS WELL!!

By Cap Chastain October 26, 2026 Alaska Airlines, Tom and Ginny No Comments

Patti and I would sing.. “The Party’s Over It’s Time to call it a day..”..

The problem is this! Our getting out of Anchorage at 5:30am Sunday morning and flying to Seattle (3 hours) then connecting to a second flight to Las Vegas (2 hours) WAS NO PARTY !!

But the real “Bottom Line” was this.. Basically the day couldn’t possibly have gone much better!

 Anchorage-Seattle Flight Crew were a fun and happy group.

Our layover in Seattle went smoothly as did our re-boarding for, and flight to, Las Vegas. 

Our meeting Tom was also smooth. 

Our meeting Tom, after picking up our bags and our 1-1/2 hour ride South to  through Searchlight, Nevada, and telephone chats with Ginny were great.

“Patti how would you feel about having a 12-inch Tuna footlong at our local Subway Sandwich Shop?”

“I am up for that Cap!!”

BUT even a perfect day can be taxing and exhausting!

Both Patti and I are .. Exhausted.

Whewie! Watched Pots Never Boil.

Sunday, October the 25th has finally arrived.

This day and date have been “On Our Calendar” for over a month!

Today, at 5:30am, God Be Willing, Patti and I will be picked up by a Yellow Cab Taxi and taken to the Anchorage Airport where we will, God Be Willing, catch an 8am flight to Seattle, Washington, and then on to Las Vegas, Nevada. Then Detroit Tiger Tom will meet us and drive us South to Laughlin, Nevada, where we will spend four nights at “our” Edgewater Casino Resort.

I hope.. I Plan.. To.. Right here on dotnet.. publish some en route updates.

So? Let’s see how it all “Plays Out”.

7:02am .. Patti and I are AT our boarding gate!!

The optimist would say .. Well we did not get all the way to the Airport before Patti said to me in the back seat of our taxi .. “Cap I left my purse on the bed in the Condo!!” 

I won’t say what the pessimist would say!

So around we turned and back home to our Condo we drove. Yes. There on the bed, was Patti’s purse. 

Further words fail me. Soon we will be boarding. Who knows IF I will be able to post an update in Seattle!!
