“Wait, didn’t you mention we would drive by ourselves?” In a sudden moment of realization, Aylin raised another question. “Hey, if we drive by ourselves, will we get a chance to witness the aurora? I worry we might miss it.”

Also, someone reached out to me about a small group tour. It’s fairly priced and includes apparel, food, a professional photographer, and even a bonfire. Plus, if we miss the aurora tomorrow, we can try again the day after, free of cost.”
