Wild Alaska
Part II
The plane touched down in Anchorage at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. The rain was beating down hard, when I stepped out of the terminal. The rain felt good on my face and there was a strong salty smell of the ocean lingering in the air. It reminded me a lot of home. I was pleasantly surprised at how mild the temperature was. I always envisioned this place to be freezing and covered with snow. I climbed into a checkered cab, and headed to my hotel.
"Where ya headed?" the cabbie asked.
"Lakefront Anchorage Hotel." I replied.
As we pulled away from the terminal, he started making small talk.
"First time in Anchorage? He asked.
"Yeah, it's not what I expected. I said.
He laughed, and stated that they get a lot of that from first time tourists.
"Let me guess, you were expecting snow, igloos and dog sleds? He joked.
I laughed along with him. He told me of some places to check out while I was here.
"What brings you up here anyways, if you don't mind me asking?" he inquired.
"Looking for my sister." I uttered, as my mind started to wander.
I wonder where she was and what she was doing. I didn't even have a clue what she looked like. All I had was a name to go on. It only took about 15 minutes to get to the hotel. I snapped out of my daze when I felt the yellow cab come to a stop
.
"That'll be $18.50." he said.
I handed him a twenty, and told him to keep the change.
"Good luck finding your sister." He said.
"Thanks." I replied, as I climbed out of the cab.
I walked up to the main entrance and was amazed at what I saw when I entered the lobby. There was stuffed animals in glass cases throughout the main level. I'm not talking about your cute little teddy bears either. These were full size animals, living and breathing at one point in time. I stood in front of one glass case that contained a Polar bear. It was standing on its hind legs. I was 6'3", and I had to look up at it. The thing was massive. As I walked through the hotel lobby, I was amazed at the wood work and glass work. I stopped in front of another glass case. There inside was a large Grizzly bear. I've seen pictures and video of them, but never quite realized how big they were. I would hate to run into one of them out in the wild. I stood there in a daze, starring at this massive carnivore, when I heard a voice behind me.
"Pretty large bear, huh?"
I snapped out of my daze, to see a beautiful woman in a tight hotel uniform. I noticed her name tag said Nichole.
"Um, yeah, I've never seen a grizzly that big before. " I stammered.
"Oh, that's not a grizzly." She said. "That's a male Kodiak."
"What's the difference?" I asked.
"Well, grizzlies are quite common here in the north, where as the Kodiaks are found only on the islands of the Kodiak archipelago islands in southwest Alaska."
"I did not know that." I responded
.
She had long and thick flowing auburn hair down to her ass. She was about 5'7", with a very slim figure and smaller breasts, and her... Oh my god. I was standing there checking her out, and didn't even realize it. I snapped out of my daydream, and I'm sure my face turned beet red by this time.
"I am so sorry." I said.
She just smiled and introduced herself.
"My name is Nichole I'm the hotel hostess." "You look a little lost."
"Hi, I'm Erik, Erik Cooper." I responded.
"I'm going to assume you're checking in?" She asked
.
"Yeah, I am." As I bend down to grab my bags.
"Where are you from?" she enquired as we started heading toward the front desk.
"I just flew in from Portland." I said.
"What brings you up to Alaska, if you don't mind me asking?"
As I walked behind her, I was mesmerized by her perfectly sculpted ass swaying back and forth. I had no idea she just asked me a question. I quickly realized when the conversation stopped. What the hell was wrong with me? I seemed to have the attention span of a hyperactive child.
"I'm sorry." I said regretfully. "I was a little distracted by the beauty of this place." I said.
We stopped at the front desk, and she asked me again.
"Oh, I'm here looking for my sister. I replied.
I went on to tell her about my search for her, and she offered to help out as much as she could. That smile of hers was amazing. She had the most beautiful deep blue eyes ever. Although, that's what I said about Jenna as well. These eyes were different. They were more electric blue, but very inviting. I had to know more about her.
"Are you from Alaska?" I asked.
"No." She replied. "I was raised in British Columbia, Canada."
"Really?" I asked. "What brought you up to Anchorage?"
She laughed a little and replied, "This may sound stupid, but I followed my boyfriend up here."
"Lucky guy." I said.
"Not really, the bastard abandoned me alone up here for another woman." She responded.
"I'm sorry to hear that." I said
"Don't be, it was the best thing that ever happened to me." She said. "After getting my working visa, I landed a job here at this hotel. I've been here for the last two years now."
After I was checked in, and I received my key card, Nichole walked me up to my room. On the way, we talked more about her life in Canada. I've never been there before, but heard it was quite beautiful. We arrived at my door, and talked for a bit longer.
"I upgraded your room for you." She told me.
"Really?" I asked. "Thank you."
I slid the key card into the door, and the lock clicked. I pushed the door open to reveal a huge suite. It had a gorgeous view of Lake Spenard and Lake Hood. I have never seen so many sea planes in one area before. You could hear the low drone from the planes as they came in for the night. There is something about the sound of the Dehavilland Beaver and the twin Otter that I have always loved. I turned to look at the rest of the room. It had a huge big screen TV, a beautiful leather couch and a giant king sized bed. The bathroom was fantastic, with a full sized shower and a jetted tub. I was overwhelmed by the room.
"I don't know what to say, but thank you." I said.
"You're welcome." She said with a smile.
