They really play down the fact you might see these. They are in the sky almost every night, you just can’t always see the sky due to thick cloud cover. The wipe board in the dining room is “stuck” on a 50% chance of seeing them. I had seen them in Rhode Island on October 10th, so I was rather ambivalent about the prospect.
Went to bed about 8 and had trouble falling asleep. We were asked to place this on the doorknob if we wanted to be woken up.
I went to bed about 8 but had trouble falling asleep, it felt like I had just fallen asleep when there was a knock at my door and someone whispering -- the Aurora is showing! I shook myself awake, found my shoes and parka. I stumbled out the door to see this.
Nice but not as spectacular as I had hoped. Then I went back to bed. I had been sleeping without a bandage on my finger and after the excursion outside tonight, it started bleeding again, so it got bandaged up before I hit the sack again.
Someone was snoring and I had trouble sleeping. When I looked out the window again -- it was better, much better. My fellow traveler Kevin Kelly shared his photos with me.

Beautiful work by Kevin!
The Northern Lights did not show up again on the trip and I for one was almost grateful. We had a bonus of seeing them on the first night and after that the prospect of having to wake up and bundle up in the middle of the night was less than appealing – still I had the door tag out every night.
