Time to go!

Ok, it's 5:39am and I'm about to head to the airport. I have a brief layover in Vegas and then it's back on the plane to Seattle.

UPDATE
(first of the day)

Greetings from Vegas. Thanks Elyse for the 5 bucks for the airport slots. Too bad it was gone in less than 10 minutes. I just paid over 3 bucks for a 20oz Diet Coke. Airports are such rip offs. I am almost positive that I just saw Cary Hart looking a one of those departure/arrival screens. I’m not 100% it was him but he does live in Vegas so I’m pretty confident on my celebrity spotting. Well I’ve got about 30 minutes than it’s back on the plane for Seattle.

Wednesday update to this post

Ok, so I was super duper tired when I finally made it to my hotel yesterday, so I didn't update this post when I should have. After my flight was delayed for a bit in Vegas, I made it to Seattle safe and sound, somewhere a little after noon. I had already planned on going to this fancy veggie restaurant http://www.cafeflora.com/ as soon I got to Seattle. It was good but a little hard to find since I'm not used to this city. Then I proceeded to wonder around for a good 45 minutes trying to find Pike Market. I finally found it, no thanks to my terrible sense of direction (and mapquest for telling me to head southeast on a street, like I'd be able to figure that one out). It was cool, I saw those fish guys who yell and throw fish at people. I think I even saw that guy who worked there when the Real World Seattle was taking place (I know, I know, that was like 8 years ago or something). Since it was getting dark (at only 4pm!), I decided to just go on to my hotel which is about 2 hours from Seattle. I made a quick stop at Trader Joe's (please, please come to Texas), picked up some cheap wine, some funky bread (you'll see what I'm talking about later) and some other snacks to keep at my hotel. Once I got past Tacoma, I was in a constant panic attack till I made it to Port Angeles. Apparently here in Washington all their state highways are 1 lane going each way, 60 miles per hour, and pitch black (at night obviously). I don't really like driving at night, especially when there are no lights, people are riding your butt, and you really have to real idea where you are going. But I made it through to blog another day. That really raps up day one. Pics should now be included if I can manage to work this right.

This would be me not winning money at slots






Yummy, pretty veggies!
