Monday, June 29: 2nd Day in Poway

Good day everybody once again Maryann I slept in till close to noon today. Which is OK cause we had no real plans and I had to deal with certain issues. Anyhow, Mary and I decided we would go shopping at target and a place called famous footwear you know where infamous footwear goes to die! So we we looked around for a while and Mary I think Found the ideal pair where the shore. We took a nice walk back and and we decided that we will be eating as soon as Alice took a shower because she’s gonna go round after we eat dinner by the time she gets back it will be too late to eat at any regular restaurant. Yeah both of us don’t want to be eating at In-N-Out Burger again not that it was horrible, but you don’t wanna do that more than once a week at the most. We talked to Alice and it was decided by sheet rather than rent sheets that we’re gonna cost $150 which is absolutely absurd when you can buy them for $11 online. That’s what Alice did. Mike and Mary and David and Debbie are at the shore at LBI. There were some nice pictures of the sunset they took because it’s three hours or later there than it is here. Phillies are about to blow a 50 lead in or losing 8 to 7 to the pirates. Aaron Nola kind of gagged and or Enfield made an error over through first base wasn’t pretty. We’re gonna go out to a Chinese restaurant in Dallas now.

Sunday, June 28: First Day in Poway

Good day everybody out there in the East Coast, West Coast, and Alaska. We slept in today because of being tired and I had my first good night. Sleep in two days. Turns out Alice wasn’t free today. She found out she had to work. So Maryann and I had breakfast. Mary cooked up a nice batch of eggs, which are very tasty and then I’m just sitting here in the kitchen looking at various social media. I found this on Instagram about a cartoon I watch when I was really young called Kimba the White Lion. God, I haven’t heard that theme song in 50 or 60 years. It’s been forever. I can’t believe I just saw it on Instagram people bring up this old stuff constantly. It’s pretty amazing. Well, we heard from someone back in Philly that the heat wave is about to hit. And I looked on the weather and it’s gonna hit 102° Thursday and Friday this week just in time for us to get back to Philly. Boy we go from 60° in in Alaska to 102°. That’s an endless summer I’ve ever heard ofone. Anyhow, Mary &, I went to the target and we noticed that the Starbucks on the side was closed down because of renovations. We bought more coffee cereal, yogurt, bananas, etc. We came back and Alice was lying down after working so we decided that we would just do takeout rather and go out to dinner. We ordered Indian food, which is very tasty. Then we all was lazy and just did her own thing on her phones and booked, etc. It was a very relaxing day for sure.

Saturday June 27: Leaving Anchorage Flying to Powayy

Good day everyone from Costa coast from Alaska to New Jersey. it’s a rainy gray day in Anchorage, Alaska temperature approximately 55°. We met up with Hannah at the coffee shop called Fire Island Coffee. We got Hannah caught up in our trip through the interior of Alaska. She had seen pictures, but we told her the behind-the-scenes story of seeing moose the various hotels and and recommendations if she should ever go to Talkeetna, which I think she would like you totally appeal to her outdoorsy camping interest, etc. Anyway, we had some delicious coffee. She helped us navigate the long line and saved a table for us. We hung out for a while and then we gave her stuff back including her bear spray and we’re ready to go to the Car Rental place to drop off the car and head to Anchorage international airport. We drove to the Rental Car Pl. and successfully checked out the car without any hitch. In fact, we made nice conversation with the guy behind the counter and a fellow travelers flying on the same flight as we are. He invited us to board his Uber since he was taking the same flight to the airport, which was really cool. Well, we passed the time.  I found some Pepsi somewhere in the airport and we’re just about to lift off at 3:50 PM. That’s the plan LIFT off but I’m sure it’ll be closer to 4 PM. Still figuring out how if the WiFi is available on this plane. Our flight was delayed because the food hadn’t arrived for catering. It’s 432. We’re just about to lift off. Will we arrive pretty late around 1015 hours pick us up which was really nice of her and then we went to the In-N-Out Burger because it was so late. It was the only place it was open and there was a huge line of cars for that place we got some food we ate and then we headed to bed because it was pretty late.
