This week has been a reminder to never put too much hope into plans made. I was scheduled to fly to Brevig on Monday morning, then on to Wales to overnight Tuesday, and then scheduled to take the helicopter over to Little Diomede and back to Nome today, Wednesday. Well, my flight Monday morning was canceled due to weather, but I did make it to Brevig then Monday night. Above are a couple pictures taken when I arrived, I was still in my snow pants. The one little girl was making a face when the picture was taken. I email with a school group in North Carolina and they sent me Hattie, the travel bear. Hattie is traveling with me and then we write and let the students know where we go and what we do. The students here really love Hattie! Anyway, last night my flight from Brevig to Wales was canceled due to weather, and here it is, Wednesday afternoon, and I am still in Brevig. There goes my plans for the rest of my travel, all because weather can be so unpredictable. The helicopter only flies to Diomede on Wednesdays. The ice there is not frozen enough yet for them to have the ice runway. They are hoping by the end of February now. The weather has been so strange this winter, so cold, then warming up, just back and forth. Right now I am just hanging out here in Brevig, hoping to make it back to Nome tonight. Guess we will wait and see. And, there is always another time to try and make it out to Diomede, which is only three miles from Big Diomede, which belongs to Russia! I just got back from taking a little walk and although it is still snowing, the sky looks like it is starting to clear up some. Hopefully...
