Laura and I are in Anchorage now, but in our travels we have had limited cell coverage in a few places. We haven't been as remote as some of the places you are going through in Canada.

I see in the news this morning that the Ferry boat workers union is striking. I hope they get it resolved quickly for you to make your connection work out of Whittier.

Just not getting used to the sun being up so late, glad all the places we have stayed have the block out shades or drapes, sun still shining at 10:15 last night and finally set a little after 11, still plenty light even though the sun was down.

Later,

Thanks guys, yes the daylight is a little different for sure.
Yes we have our fingers crossed that our ferry trip doesn't get cancelled, or it will be a long drive back.
