Seattle
It's 8 AM in Seattle and this hotel restaurant is a pretty comfortable place to sit and write. The in-room web access doesn't seem to be working, but the wi-fi in the lobby works just fine, so I can sit here and catch up on news and email whilst eating from the voluminous breakfast buffet. It's fairly cloudy and cool this morning, but there's the threat of sunshine this afternoon, which would be nice.
I'm in town to support a meeting with a customer, but it still leaves me with most of the morning (the meeting doesn't start until 11) and a good portion of the afternoon (the meeting is over by 2 or so) free. Couldn't manage to get a flight back home tonight on short notice, so I"ll be leaving on the early (5:45) flight in the morning. Such fun.
This is my third trip to Seattle, and I really do enjoy the area. So beautiful with the mountainous terrain, all the water, and I just adore the cool weather. After the meetings today I'm planning on heading downtown to the Pike Place Market; for sure a tourist location, but it's been recommended by a couple friends so I guess I'll give it a go. I'll be sure to post pics tomorrow when I get home.
Well, I've pretty much finished up here at the restaurant so I think I'll move to the lobby, find a plug-in for this laptop, and start working on some work stuff. Should be at least moderately productive today.

Check out the cheap price on the flowers, plus they are gorgeous. Make sure you get a picture of them throwing the fish! Mine didn’t turn out. ={ Don’t forget to visit all the little shops around there also. It’s one my favorite places to go. It’s a shame you don’t have time to do the underground tour. =}

Every time I am in Seattle I make sure to catch a movie at the Cinerama.

Saw two of the three Pirates movies there and it was an incredible experience each time.

Grams: Took a bunch of pictures at the market. It was pretty cool. Didn’t get any of the fish flying, though. I have more thoughts on that, will post about it later.
Eric: The thought has crossed my mind. No time this trip, though.
Geof: Not this week. Thought about it, but he had to work tonight. Have firm plans for next week when I’m here.
Lydia: I’ll have to look it up. I will have a free night next week… might be fun.
