Too long we have been separated from SuAn.

Today we take the airplane towards West and really overtake the time. Our Condor flight leaves Frankfurt at 3:55 p.m. and arrives in Anchorage at 3:45 p.m. on the same day. The flight takes 9 hours and 40 minutes but the time difference to Germany is 10 hours.

We are almost flying over the North Pole, crossing Greenland and are seeing all of Alaska from the Beauford Sea in the North to the Cook Inlet off the Golf of Alaska close to Anchorage. The view is amazing. Mount Mc Kinley with its 6193 m is towering over the snow covered Denali Mountains

We are very grateful that our dear friends Rod and Elizabeth are picking us up from the airport.
