That's a marathon of a plane trip.
What'll be for you, 9:30/10:30pm?
It takes me 3 days to fly there anymore, don't like to be all tuckered out when I arrive.
I take Alaska Air's non-stop Tampa/Seattle then go out to dinner.
Mid-morning day 2 I'll go Seattle/Anchorage, that allows for a afternoon of shopping around Anchorage then a trip to the Bush Company for the evening.
Grab a early flight morning of day 3 and show up at my destination for lunch feeling great.
You should try that sometime, makes all the difference.

Rednecks?
Spandex is NOT redneck... as a basic point of clarification.
Post pics...
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

At one time I was making that run every 60 days so did it in a little more of a rushed fashion.
Now days it's more like twice a year so I slowed it down a bit, enjoy the trip a little more.
Be safe, enjoy your TSA molesting's.

Who's the other redneck going with you two? I’ll out frog gig you any day of the week. Lol, maybe I've done my share, I ordered a hundred bullfrog tadpoles to release in the lake view pond here in town so we'd have bullfrogs we only have leopard frogs here, going to get catfish, bass, and bluegill fingerlings also to stock in that pond that's a couple of miles from my house here in town.

What I wouldn't give to return to Kodiak!
Chiniak isn't even a wide spot! It's a U.S. Post Shack that sits right off the road! LOL!
When I went in 2012, we went out to "Roads End" restaurant to eat!
Fun place.
Best fishing moments were on 8 foot seas just off Chiniak. We tagged out on 12 kings and umpteen silvers in about an hour!
We then returned to calmer waters to fish for halibut. Real downer!
The charter we used is now defunct. His boat burned.
Great guy. A bit of an A-hole, but could put you on fish!
Honestly, to run a charter boat, you've got to be a "Type A" personality....or a bit of an A-hole!
It's quite a trip from Chiniak, around the horn to Whale Pass between Kodiak and Afognak. My b-i-l (rest his soul) caught the first fish, on the first day trolling Whale Pass!
About a 45 pound king. Biggest salmon of the trip!
BTW! We had you by 2 rednecks!
Four of us from east Texas staying at the Best Western and we got stuck in the elevator! LOL!

That’s a good idea. Never thought of tadpole stocking

The fun has begun. Dallas airport. Crowded. Mark’s 15 year old son is with us. He had to pee. I pointed him toward the restroom. He came running out red faced. I figured he’d see the female symbol at some point before he got in.
