My Trip to Seattle! I have to say, I am so glad I went on this trip. Seattle is the most beautiful state I ever been in or seen (in my opinion). Hell, I never been on the West coast before in my life. So, this trip was meaningful to me than I think anyone can understand. To be released from this little town, work, and Florida is what I really needed to fill up with excitment about life again. To escape from everything to only end up at at place that can take your breath away with grogous views of mountains, skylines and hills. An the people there are so nice and polite. If you wanted the cross the street, traffic stops without the drivers getting pissed. They smile and wave you across even if the light is green. NO LIE! If you were to do that here, you would get runned over. I mean, no matter where you went, you need something or help to find a place, people go out of there way a bit and help you. Let me go more into details.... From my last entry, right afterwards I took a shower and finally finished packing. Then I harrassed my travel partner, Ryan, online, saying "HURRY UP!! HURRY UP!!". Cause by this time I was excited and nervous all at once. Then alittle after 2:30 p.m. Ryan showed up and we all immediately basically left for Tampa International Airport. We (Mom, Ryan, "step-dad" and myself) talked and got a drink before Ryan I boarded to go into our connecting flight in Atlanta. An being you have to be at the gate basically 30 minutes till cause you have to go through all the check points (getting your bag checked, etc). We stopped at the Crown Plaza that Delta has for there special members who fly delta, to go to the bathroom and get free drinks. An from what I understand, you can get Skymiles with the card you use to pay for your tickets. Anyway, while we waited to get on our plane, Ryan and I rested up get our nerves in check and had a drink. Then being that we where less than 5 minutes away from our gate, when went down to get on the plane. Our flight to Atlanta was almost 2 hours. Then, we had a 45 minute layover at the airport. Which at this point I started taking pictures. By the time we got to Alanta, it was almost 7:30 pm. I believe. We hung out a bit at the Crown Plaza again, until we have to board. This time it was almost scaring, cause we almost missed our flight to Seattle, cause by the time we got to the gate, they were calling, "last call for flight to Seattle". Oye! An this flight was longer, a little over 3 hours. I had the window seat. An being scared of heights, it was the wrong place to sit, but our plane was booked full, so I had no other place to go. So, I sucked it up and kept my mind busy. Ryan took out his laptop and we watched movies and listened to our cd players. Almost 3 hours later, we landed in Seattle at 10:40 P.M. and got greeted by my sister at bagges claim. From there she took us to her house. An the drive to her house we fun. An the night skyline was breath taking. Just gets you speechless. Plus, you got to see the Space Needle all lite up. It was just awesome. When we got to her place, we were greeted by my sister's boyfriend Sam. Nice guy. We all hung out for a bit and talked until it was time for bed. The next day, Friday, we all got up (my sister, Ryan and myself) showered, had my sisters blueberry pancakes and then headed out to see Seattle. We took the bus, which is really common in Seattle cause in the city there is no parking cause its always packed full, plus it's so exspenive too (20 bucks an hour, if I understood right). An the bus is so safe and friendly. You pay a buck-fifty and if you ask for a tranfer, the pass you get is good for 4 whole hours. It's awesome. When we got off the bus, we had about 15 minute wait and being it started to rain (an Seattle's weather is really unpredictable cause the news will say it will by nice and sunny, and it rains. Even the forcasters don't know, it's because of the montains.) so we headed in for a place to have lunch called World's Wrap. Really really yummy!! Then we quickly ran to catch our bus. We went down town into the city, and walked everywhere and being that every street is basically hills you get a real work out. My sister wanted to show us the market. Where you can get fresh fish that they toss to you over the counter and the most beautiful flowers you'll ever see. An alot of them, don't grow here in the South. An here is where I went picutre crazy. All the colors and sights where outstanding. We ended up having dinner at a place called the 5 Spot where my sister's boyfriend works. Yummy food.
