Alaska

This will be one of my last updates for the night. We are headed north to Alaska after finishing up along the western coasts of North & South America. We have picked up a USAF escort again as we make the straight shot up the coast line. At the moment, we are approaching the equator and travelling at top speed. We are currently right on schedule after some creative re-routing by the Command Center and some extra effort by the reindeer team have allowed us to eliminate the time deficit we had earlier this evening.

If you are in Alaska, you should have been in bed several hours ago... but if you are not, you have a few minutes before I make my first stop there. And I have a couple of minutes to down another cup of Christmas Blend coffee :-)
