Day #3: Big Money

I had my first passengers today! They gave me transfers to the helicopter tours all day, which isn't a tour at all but I have the option of practicing some lines on them. I'd say it went well considering the fact that I made $17 in tips on a route that is notorious for getting skunked. It was fun, though it feels awkward still; they had told me that once I got here, driving would be the easy part - they were right! The day was a little stressful because the helicopter company was running a little late, but we made it through. I worked 11 hours today, and although it did feel long, it went by really fast.

Sundays are slow days around here so a bunch of us have tomorrow off. The plan is to take a comp tour, and so far the consensus is to do either helicopter/dog sledding or whale watching. We can do pretty much whatever we want! Tonight we're having group therapy in the lounge, which is basically everyone getting together to talk about deep life stuff and getting to know each other better - so it will be a night in and a morning to sleep in. Looking forward to more days of giving tours and lots more days of getting to go on them!!
