Blogs from SeaTac, Washington, United States, North America

February 8, 2012.....after 16 months of planning the day finally dawned…well actually the sun was many hours from rising when I left home on Wednesday to meet up with my travel companion. Michelle and I hopped on the Bainbridge Island Ferry to Seattle, towing our luggage and backpacks, and then sped easily to SeaTac in a taxi van. 3.5 hours later we finally left Seattle and started on our way.... Of course the flight delay gave us time for one...or maybe that was two ?? Bloody Mary's.... so the gate changes and boarding may be a bit fuzzy. With the late start, we got to Chicago just in time to traverse the terminal and get right onto our next flight from ORD to London Heathrow. Hungry now (those green bean garnishes don't stay with you for ... read more

Well its 1245pm local time,flight leaves in an hour. Am sitting here enjoying a beer that cost 7 dollars sheesh. Will keep this very short as I'm about to pop 2 pills and crash he-he.I am looking forward to waking up in a foreign land. Always a pleasure, new sights and smells, etc. Changed a few hundred euros and so am set. Security oddly was fast! Surprising indeed! No pictures for this entry as SeaTac airport isnt the most glamorous spot haha. Anyway am off to nap for 10 hours sitting upright and likely next to a screaming child....god help me.... read more

The Beginning Started: Sleepy goodbye to one Satori Clarke. Hugs and kisses ensued. Brother Matt then ferociously drove me to catch the Quick Shuttle to SeaTac airport. The ride was pretty boring, until we got into Seattle and I found out that there is a PARKADE FOR BOATS HERE!! Seriously! I was gazing out the window at the lake/river/ocean and there was a parkade (like for cars) but there were BOATS in it! And it was multi-level! I have decided that despite Seattle being a very odd city, one day I will have to return to explore said Boat Parkade on the shores of the lake/river/ocean. Arrived: At SeaTac Stood in a line that seemed ENDLESS to check into Alaska Airlines. The line experience was made only ok by the 3 musicians who kept walking buy ... read more

Good morning folks, Interesting night last night. I decided on a whim to get off my butt and start this blog of my upcoming trip to europe. As this is simply a test I'll keep it short as breakfast is needed. :) ... read more

Sooo yesterday when we checked our flight information it said our plane was coming at 3:30 instead of 4:30 which was the scheduled time. Matt was not doing very well this morning so I was kinda all over the place trying to get last minute stuff together by myself. We wanted to say bye to Brenda and Brittany before we left so we were rushing to make it to them on time. Brittany was suppose to leave for school at 11am this morning so at about 10:53 we ran out of the house and got going. When we pulled up to Brittanys, Brenda was already walking to her car. We made it just in time!! Then we went to my parents to get my dad and say bye to my momma:( Then we were on the ... read more

Well, we caught a ride to the Bainbidge Island ferry with our friend Lorrie & her friend Barbara. We all walked on the ferry luggage and all. When we got to Colemna dock, we hugged and parted company -- Lorrie and Barbara were off to a downtown Seattle adventure and Gary & I took a taxi to the 3rd & James transit location. We're off on our adventure... So, we got to the Sound Transit underground station and found that not only were the two ticket machines BROKEN but the elevator down to meet the train was out of commission. We hauled our luggage down two flights of stairs and found someone to let us know that if we went to the end of the platform and back up there would be a ticket station there. ... read more
