Sitting in LAX...
Listening to children scream in the Admirals Club.... So much for an oasis of quiet.... We jumped on the ferry Sunday morning and the seas in between Victoria and Vancouver were Flat, Flat, Flat..I saw fins of various water creatures and we had a great sky...
My husband was not being very nice to me when I was trying to take "going away pictures" I really need to send him back to work!
My parents smiled pretty though!
Loved the pictures of the birds on the way down to Seattle. Actually saw a Heron right by the side of the road.
We went all the way down to Fife, and stayed over night at the Emerald Queen Hotel and Casino, so my parents could go play. Bazza and I went into bed pretty early to watch TV. I was pretty tired as I had had hardly any sleep the night before attempting to get all caught up and everything ready to go away. I made it, but I was reminded once again how much work it is to get ready to go away! The boys were being very helpful here watching my mother load and organize the car this morning.... Smoky places those casinos in Washington. Thought it was weird hauling your luggage right through the casino, but the rooms were OK. Did find it funny, as i went up to the desk, leaving everyone else in the car and asked for two rooms. She asked me if I had stayed there before and I said "no" She said "well the room rates are $119.00 each" I said "ok" and she said "But, if you are AAA or Military I an take it down to $99.00" I said "my dad is both but he is in the car" and then she said "and if you are corporate I can take it down to $89.00" I agreed I was corporate as well, and started digging for a business card. Did not even need it! Thought it was quite funny...I just kept on agreeing and the rate kept on going down.
First flight, Seattle To LAX. Not too full, we had open seats in between us which meant both Bazza and I half slept all the way to Los Angeles. First time I have transferred in LA, found in funny that we waited for a shuttle bus and then zig zagged around all the planes taking off and landing over runways to get to the other terminal. This plane not taking off until midnight. Trying to tell myself that I want to stay awake until then so I have a chance of sleeping on the plane!
Had to love this perfect picture that Bruce caught on Promenade yesterday. One of the best I have seen of people getting wet on the trampoline there. SOme of our guests will recall when it gets like that it has a tendency to break the trampoline!
I found this picture on my laptop, that I have obviously borrowed from somewhere, but it is a bit old, so not sure where. Somewhere in the Caribbean, but I loved the colors...The colors still get to me after this many years of living on the water...
Another one, I found was of pelicans, obviously off of St John I would say. I just adore the Pelicans!
See you on the other side...
