Kotzebue, Alaska

I flew out of Anchorage Thursday morning, stopped in Nome, Alaska then flew into Kotzebue, AK
It is interesting being on a plane (I was actually on a 737-400 Alaskan Airlines) due to you actually taxi on the main runway, spin around at the end then take-off. Not the normal procedure for flight in many places. The airport is a 30 x 20 room, which also includes the baggage claim. Gets a bit crowded. Spent the night at the school, along with all the other new teachers. Air mattresses and sleeping bag. We have been eating well, the school district has been taking very good care of us. Tomorrow we fly out to Kivalina, it is about 80 miles north, bush plane is the only way in. Gonna be an interesting flight.
