It's Over!

It's official.  It's SO over!  I had my last run on Wednesday.  Showed up to work at 6:15am to be told that I would be working with David Alexander.  Are you freaking kidding me???  David hates me, and I hate him.  Okay, so it's a love/hate relationship - we hate to work with each other, but we love to "hang" out with each other.  Long story short, I had to be the tour guide slash bartender for my last day.  I was "car tending" which actually ended up being awesome.  What a way to end the season.  I had two cars, one from Talkeetna to Denali, and then my last group from Denali to Fairbanks.  We arrived in Fairbanks got the folks off the train, threw all the perishable food out and turned off the lights and hopped off the train within minutes.  I didn't even get a chance to really say goodbye to the train.  As I walked to the bus, I said, Goodbye Train, see you in 40 years when I can barely walk and am on my death bed wanting to add to my "Bucket List" before I kick it.  The season is over, it is now but a dream...a bad dream, tis not so!  I will miss you Princess Train, I will miss the awesome passengers, but most of all I will miss the awesome amount of money that I was bringing home on a daily basis!  What to do next summer...
