Ok, so our little adventure that was only supposed to last 3 days ended up lasting 6 days. We got stuck in
Inuvik, like really stuck.
LOL I was beginning to think that we would never make it home. We managed to find a flight out on the right day for Jamie so that he could get home to help my mom with the boys and go back to work. It cost us a little bit more than we had hoped but as least he made it home. Tyler, Michelle and I ended up spending another 4 days in
Inuvik. We were so lucky that we were able to stay at the
Arctic Chalet. Judy was so good to us. They took us out on another dog sled tour for no charge and let us stay for next to nothing. They were so great to us.
We did start to go a little stir crazy with being stuck. We would borrow a car every morning and head to the airport to see if it would be our lucky day and each day after sitting there for two to three hours we would leave a little bit discouraged because we couldn't get out. We would head into two and get some dinner and head back to our cabin to spend the evening passing the time. As you can see above we did some dancing and below we did some singing.
LOL We also watched a lot of
infomercials. We were so temped so many times to buy what we saw be we resisted.
LOL We did a lot of silly laughing too. It felt good.
We were getting ready to take up residence at this great place when we discovered that we would be able to get out. We had found a flight on another air line that would get us home. It cost us extra but we were just happy to be getting home.
This is Michelle doing the happy dance because we were finally leaving. :)
Even Tyler was excited.
LOL
I was less than impressed when I saw the plane that we would be flying on. This was the oldest plane that I have ever flown on. It was a little nerve racking. I was just happy to be on our way.
It was very tight quarters. There was no much room.
This was one of the very small airports that we stopped at. This is Old Crow were people come and pick up their family on their snowmobiles with their sleds attached. It was very entertaining.
This was the longest day. We had so many stops on our way home. We stopped in Old Crow, Dawson City, White Horse, Vancouver, then Edmonton. It was so crazy to us that we would have to fly so far north, then south then back to the middle again.
LOL It ended up taking us 12 hours to get home, when our original flight only took 3 hours.
LOL Oh well we had a great time and we were just happy to be home. What a grand adventure.
