Delayed for one day by housesitter/dogsitter change of plans we drove to Portland and picked up Amy for the drive to Seattle. Miserable traffic and got there fairly late, around 7:00. The packing was hilarious as we had lots of stuff and gifts that had to be distributed in multiple bags for customs limits. Also had to make sure that all bags were under the 51 pound limit. This took at least 3 hours. Whew!
This morning was car shuffle time as street parking downtown runs $5.00 an hour. Amy will drive to Portland tomorrow in my car with Meg's dog, Lola. The shuttle is due here in a couple of hours and we are nearly ready. Shuttle driver running a little late and need to pickup two more passengers at the Edgewater. Hwy 99 is a mess due to the demolition of the Alaskan viaduct beginning this weekend (prepare for "carmegeddon" Monday Seattle). We arrive at the airport in plenty of time, no line to check bags at British Airways, no line in security, we head for the duty free shop for more gifts. Oh yes, was able to change my rupees back into dollars, no problem, only about a $25 exchange cost!!! This is like the rake on a 2/4 game. Plane is at the gate, leaving in about an hour and a half. Looking forward to sitting comfortably with headphones on and catching up on my sleep. Next post from India.
