I received an email last night from Orbitz, where I had booked my flight up to Anchorage. Trying to save a day of vacation, I chose to pay a little bit extra (I needed to spend at least $500, to receive that much of a discount off of the bike) so I could get there early and finish the deal on the Ultra. It seems that Alaska Airlines may be looking to get a little more money for that ticket than I paid. Orbitz told me that the flight from Seattle to Anchorage had been cancelled. I know they are liars. The Internet told me so.
Anyway, I ended up getting a cheaper ticket leaving the night before my original departure date. Maybe a blessing in disguise, since I should have no problems closing the deal in time, now, and start on the road back home as planned. I am even more psyched now!

Time to Wait
I ordered the 2010 Ultra Classic on January 16. The dealership ordered it from the Motor Company on March 3. I leave town on July 30 to pick it up. Bummer. Nearly 5 more months of waiting...
I will not wish the date arrives here soon, lest I wish the majority of summer away. No, I won't do that after the winter I just experienced. I will just prep for the trip, doing things like getting this blog started and educating those who plan to ride on at least some portion of the route with me.
