Saturday morning we caught a 7:50 am plane out of Juneau. It stopped in Ketchikan on the way to Seattle. Unfortunately as we were getting ready to take off one of the engines had a problem. The mechanic had to come over to the airport on the ferry. It took four hours but they fixed the engine and we finally made it to Seattle. Unfortunately we missed our connection to Bellingham. We were rebooked for an 11:40 pm plane. The good thing was that our eight hour layover allowed us to visit with our niece Mary who works for Alaska Airlines in Seattle.
Our flight to Bellingham was delayed about thirty minutes when they had a problem with the cabin noise cancelling system. We finally made it to Bellingham, retrieved our car, and left Bellingham at 1 am. The border crossing people seemed a bit perplexed about why we were crossing the border at 2 am but eventually they let us into Canada. We were in bed at our hotel by 3 am.
