On our way to the small village we have traveled from Sitka to Anchorage, Bethel then to Napakiak. The early morning of leaving Sitka was a little rough to wake up at 4:10 am to catch our 6:00 am flight on our way to Anchorage. We finally reached Anchorage on time, we thought we were done sitting around. We got to our gate thinking we are going to go to Napakiak on time but the flight attendant announced that our flight got delayed because of the bad fog in Bethel. We were waiting for the next update which was around 12:00 pm, no luck, Bethel was still foggy, then our next available flight was at 6:00 pm. After our sweet sweet sighs, we went to a nearby restaurant in the airport to get some lunch together. We ordered our food then after all we did was talk and talk about how excited everyone is to go to a small village to meet the Napakiak kids and learn new things.  We stayed in Anchorage from 10:30ish am to 6:00 pm. Eight whole hours of doing nothing in the Ted-International Airport, maybe we walked around some, but after an hour and a half we were all exhausted and bored.
