I had a really early night and when I woke up, I thought it must be at last midnight. But no- just 10:30pm. It was a night of tossing and turning if I’m honest, until about 1. My 4 am alarm found me bleary eyed and not bushy tailed. I boarded a shuttle in theContinueContinue reading “No rawdogging a flight for me!”

Long walks and a hatchet
I decided I won’t be trekking up the hill to get more of that amazing Salt and Straw ice cream, partly because I would have continued to eat the same two amazing flavours and partly because I was becoming a little portly. I think I may be a little allergic to milk.Today was all aboutContinueContinue reading “Long walks and a hatchet”
In which I become a leeetle bit of a food critic
The night before, I had gone to bed at 10:30.At around 11:15, the door opened and a new roomie came in. We each have a lamp near our bed. New roomie turned on the bright main light; probably to find her lamp, I thought hopefully.Nope. The light stayed on for over an hour as newContinueContinue reading “In which I become a leeetle bit of a food critic”
In which the language of coffee is NOT universal
I woke early today, got dressed and walked straight out to the bus depot. Today was Fremont Day!I jumped on the 41. Three fare enforcers, looking rather a lot like police swaggered around the bus. An unfortunate fare evader climbed on board. To his credit, he held his own for a while, pretending to lookContinueContinue reading “In which the language of coffee is NOT universal”
In which I discover delicious ice-cream, oh…. and also Seattle
Breakfast at Sheri’s house this morning was lovely. She made the best banana bread. Her brother and his wife are in town so they came over.Her brother all these years later, still talks like every RVA boy ever. He cracked me up!It was a short visit, because my alarm went, so Sheri kindly dropped meContinueContinue reading “In which I discover delicious ice-cream, oh…. and also Seattle”
Canada-bound
I chugged down a quick coffee, and a bowl of corn chips for breakfast on ‘goodbye’ day. Did I mention the half and half before? This is my first experience of half and half. Fellow Aussies may not know, but it is half milk/ half cream!AND……. some coffee shops down here offer a special halfContinueContinue reading “Canada-bound”
Full Day
Yesterday is going to be a write-off really as far as in-depth blogging.We woke early to get in as much chat time before heading out for a morning of exploring. A group of us drove into pretty Port Townsend. We caught the ferry across to Fort Casey, built to protect Puget Sound against ship attacks.ContinueContinue reading “Full Day”
Reunion- full day
I think I last left off when I was overcome with jet lag at around 10:30 at my school friend Lynette’s house.Her daughter had very kindly given up her room so I had privacy and she slept out in the living room.I felt a wave of unconsciousness sweep over me and gave myself over toContinueContinue reading “Reunion- full day”
Second leg
By the time I boarded the tiny plane bound for Seattle, I had to pick my eyelids off the floor and drag them along with me. The air steward making all the announcements, spoke in what sounded like a language very close to English, where you could ALMOST follow what she was saying, but notContinueContinue reading “Second leg”
Highschool jaunt to Seattle: Day 1
I said goodbye to the fam bam and got dropped at the bus terminal at nearly 10 pm.It was frigid inside the terminal because the doors kept sliding open to let passengers in.I had just perfected a self heating system for my arms using a double hoodie technique when the apologetic security man turfed usContinueContinue reading “Highschool jaunt to Seattle: Day 1”
