My plane ticket is purchased – to the sorry tune of $658.50! 
I found a ticket for $520 but I would have had to fly into and out of
Dulles and that is a HUGE pain. So I decided the extra money was
worth not having to lug all of my luggage on a train to DC, then a
couple Metros to get to the other side of DC, and then a bus to get to
the airport.
Here’s my schedule:
Leave Baltimore and arrive Anchorage – July 10th, 6:27 pm.
Leave Anchorage and arrive Portland – August 4th (Papa and Granny’s anniversary!) – 7:50 AM
Leave Portland and arrive Baltimore, August 14th, 6:41 pm
I’m looking forward to a great trip!
Salmon and Souvlaki 
That actually seems like a decent deal to have 2 stops in there. I’m glad you got your ticket…we’ll see you July 10th!!!
I made your carrot cake again tonight! It was a hit of course…I think the girls will enjoy it tomorrow during coffee as well. Love you!
