Made it to Petersburg, Alaska

I have Internet! Not only that but I got to Petersburg just fine today and all is as well as could be. The town is very neat and the people are....well...very different and will be a pleasure to work with. These guys know what a hard days work is and they aren't going to hold back from showing me. I got a few pictures of the town...nothing to great. The middle far right is the cannery I believe, or it could be the housing for some boats at the docks, got a little lost when I took that. The other two in the middle are fishing boats for the area.

I do have to say that the moment I walked in my room, it smelt of fish and thats something I am just going to have to get used to. These guys are used to working 16 hour days and 120 hour weeks. I met a guy from Poulsbo Washington who literally set me up with the head guy at this place and gave me an opportunity at making 75 cents more an hour than the other first year guys. Which is not bad and I wouldn't be cleaning the fish. I'll let you know more details when I know whats up.

For right now I am waiting for my orientation on Wednesday morning and just enjoying the new company in the mean time. You can click on this image to se a bigger one.

Glad you made it there safe and that everything with the airline went smoothly. How much did it end up costing you on my guest pass? I hope it wasn't too expensive! Love you, have fun up there! Send us some fish if you can =)!

Like the pictures! Wish they where bigger so I could see better the monument. Nancy likes the pictures with the boats best. Let us know if you need anything, air freshener for your room, etc...

I hope you enjoy your time there, Morgan! It's good your on the west coast, I wouldn't wanna smell like fish (oh wait, I live near Boston. Forget that)

But anyways, try to have fun and fish is good for your bones! :P
