My journey to Sitka begins! I flew out of the Minneapolis International Airport today at 11:30, switched planes in Seattle, flew to Ketchikan and arrived in Sitka at 5:30 p.m. I made sure to switch seats on both my flights so I was seated by the planes tiny windows. I’m glad I did because the view of the snow covered mountains were breathtaking and it seemed like they went on forever.

Upon arrival at Sitka’s airport I was meet by Jenna, Adam and Steve who took me to my dorm room at the old Sheldon Jackson College. Jenna will be my boss at the Raptor Center and I will be working with Steve, a fellow interpreter. Adam works for the Sitka Tours Company, he filled me in on all the historical landmarks along the way to the dorms.
