Post #22: How to get from A to B

By Dan

From the time we left our house on August 3, until the time we get home on August 24, we will have used a multitude of forms of transportation (in addition to walking). Here’s a list of sorts:

• Various forms of automobile drivers (other than ourselves):
  • Taxi
  • Lyft
  • Other car services of various sorts (see post #18, for example)
• Rental car (in Haines)
• Airplane:
  • Full size jets (e.g., from SF to Vancouver)
  • Prop planes (e.g., from Homer to Anchorage)
  • Seaplane (from Haines to Juneau) [Note: Though run by Alaska Seaplanes, this was really just a small prop plane, with 9 passengers. It wasn’t on the water.]
• Boats:
  • Full-size cruise ship
  • Ferry (from Juneau to Haines)
• Train (from Anchorage to Denali)
• Buses of various sizes, such as:
  • from Seward to Anchorage
  • from Denali to Anchorage
• MOG (I forget what this stands for, but it was a bus-like vehicle that got us to the dog sled venue.)
• Tram (in Juneau, going up Mt. Roberts)
• Dog sled (not for a long distance, but I imagine that most people have never gone any distance in a vehicle pulled by a dog)
• Wheelchair: I’ve gotten mobility assistance at some of our airports, because I have trouble walking long distances.
• Do elevators and escalators count as separate forms of transport?
• We might actually take BART when we get in to SFO Sunday.
