We were up at the crack of dawn to catch our 7am flight from LA to Seattle. It didnt happen that way. We got to the airport, stood in line forever for Starbucks (I dont regret it), finally boarded our plane and sat there for about 45 minutes as Delta announced we were waiting for pilots, that they had no pilots and were searching for more pilots, and finally, our flight had been cancelled. But then, as half the plane was unloaded, we received texts that we would indeed be on this flight, but it is now delayed until 10:16am. We wasted money at the airport bar. Youre not on vacation until youve had a drink before 10am, right?? Later, the same people started boarding the same plane around 9:45am and around the corner walks two pilots and all the passengers in applause. Never seen that happen before. After boarding, the pilots announced they were enroute to LA from Connecticut when Delta called them and told them they would be flying to Seattle today.
After watching Channing Tatum in the movie Dog.. the flight was almost over. Channing and dogs are two of my favorite things. ? We get
to baggage claim in Seattle and Mona and Andy are waiting for us - thats my sister and her husband! They live just outside of Seattle. We had a Jamaican jerk chicken lunch with fruity drinks and great conversation and then they drove us around to show us a beautiful home they recently sold, some other areas, and then over to our hotel for tonight which is in Bremerton on the water. Bremerton is on a peninsula about an hour ferrys ride away from Seattle. They headed to their home to check on their dogs and we called it an early night. Well take the ferry in the morning and board our ship for a week. Thats all for today. Toodaloo!
