What’s up with air travel? Every seat on every flight is full and there is always a long standby list. Today was no different.

I was in Seattle to work with one of our long-term consultants, Suzanne Lagoni. We’re completing the last draft of our sustainability book so it can go to press in 2012. We can’t wait!

This was almost my last flight of 2011. I only have a trip to Kenai, one to Juneau and one to Fairbanks for work this year – after Christmas we’ll fly south to see my parents.

This year I will fly over 130,000 miles, most in Alaska and work related. This travel is in sync with a primary Foraker goal – to truly serve our whole state and not be viewed as Anchorage centric.

We hope we have been successful in that endeavor because today’s smidgen of insight is that to serve Alaska one must fly. Distance delivery has improved but there are times that require physical presence. At Foraker I’m not the only frequent flier. We all spend time on planes, away from family, to do what we love – serve you. But now that the holidays are close, we want to slow down – at least for a few weeks.
