The flight from Atlanta was a long one. The only issue was that I slept about 30 minutes, which is definitely not enough. The massive roar of the 767's engines is heard pretty clearly when you're seated close behind them. That coupled with the stewardesses bumping my knee every time they passed made it hard to fall asleep.
Only 2 hours are remaining from my 7 and 1/2 hour layover in Seattle at this point. After arriving, I had to get to baggage claim and grab my bags, because I guess Delta doesn't transfer them onto Alaska Air, or maybe they just hate me. And because the check-in counter for Alaska Air didn't open for another four hours at this point, I had the extreme pleasure of carting my stuff around the airport.
After all of that I proceeded to pay an exorbitant amount of money for internet service, which I am kind of regretting. I would not have bought it if I had been tired at all, but of course after 18 busy hours my body was wide awake. I did manage to get eventually get another 45 minutes of sleep, which wasn't too bad and brings my total for the trip up to 1 hour and 15 minutes so far. After sleeping on the floor I woke up with involuntary shakes all over my body which, to say the least, were very annoying. I bet I looked like I was having a freaking seizure as I walked up to the check-in counter.
But anyways the shakes have quit, my bags are checked again and I've gone through security, so pretty much all of my work is done. I only have to make one more connection to get to Cordova, where I will undoubtedly pass out as soon as I sit down on anything remotely comfortable.
