Day 18. Leaving Fairbanks

Today is Jim's last day of the great northern adventure. Pepe will take Jim to the airport at about 1:00pm today for a 3:49pm flight to Seattle & then Boston. It has been a great trip & will be remembered a long time.

We had a special treat last night with a great dinner at the Pump House restaurant & a few beers & pool at the famous Howling Day Saloon.

We set our alarms for 1am to get up to see the northern lights (Aurora Borealis). It was a great show & something worth getting up for. It is definitely one of the 100 things to see. The Japanese rate this the 2nd best thing to see in your lifetime. Pretty neat.

We are blogging at the Fairbanks Visitor Center & Pepe will try to keep it going although Jim is taking the 2 laptops home (1 is having problems).
