EXTENDED STAY AMERICA TACOMA FIFE

... lovely skull and crossbones jacquard knee length socks. ... Admittedly 90 % of my purchase was based on the fact they had super cushioned soles and my feet fell in love with the soles at first sight.



Our final Seattle destination was the Kangaroo & Kiwi pub (http://www.kangarooandkiwipub.com/). Run by an aussie the pub is decorated from floor to ceiling in Aussie and NZ sporting paraphernalia (mostly rugby). They serve numerous aussie ...

... d have still rumbed with her - one eyed fashion of course. Finally after picking up a few personal items we completed the shopping and headed back home. I was eager to return as I had several bottles of Guinness to get through. This was subsequently done, however I gladly took a back seat as Big Josh stole the show with his antics. During my time here I have seen this Nebraskan kid get drunk suddenly and this was another of those occasions ...

... year. She's still in school, taking classes to get ready to enter a nursing program to become a nurse. She was so kind and loving at the conference, the type of person you can't go on without wanting to become good friends with. I called Angel, one of Annie's contacts and she was totally good to do an interview tomorrow night after her meeting at the Seattle Culture Center. Plans are to meet up at her place, chant together and do the interview. Miles driven today: 23.0mi Daniel

... to see the gaffers put Bob's arms and legs on. After seeing this feat, we decided it was time to head back to our lovely hotel for some R & R. We made it to the bus stop successfully only to sit and wait for our bus. And wait for our bus. And wiat for our bus. Through talking to others we decided that our bus 586 we no longer running at this hour. So we hopped on the next bus to downtown Seattle hoping that ...

... we had had on Canadian VIA rail and had single and double swivelling seats down each side of the upper deck for great views. We lunched and enjoyed the views down the west coast south of Seattle with mountains in the distance and farms of cattle. We reached Portland, Oregon for a quick stop and then onwards in the fine sunshine. The north American (and Canadian) rail systems are mostly single track with occasional double tracks for passing. We had waited at a ...

... comments daily! We really appreciated it and looked forward to hearing from you as we spent lots of time taking the time to take special pictures and write our adventures in real time for you all. We truly feel that we had you all traveling along with us in every city which was so awesome! We took some extra time to summarize our journey, which was not an easy task! We have done so much in what seems like such a short time but here is our best ...

... hints to anyone and everyone in the hostel that sitting around reading was probably not the most exciting way to spend the Saturday night before Halloween I eventually admit to my self that no-one was going anywhere. So reluctantly I headed out on my own, which is a bit sad really, but after a Guinness or two met an English guy in the local Irish bar called Steve who now lived in Seattle and worked for Microsoft. I think he was bored of his girlfriend or ...

... brand souvenir glass. By the time we left, we had way overeaten our carb limit for the day. Into the car, drive the few blocks to the Dome. Before dinner, we'd seen plenty of space available in the gigantic parking lots. Not so now. A jam, a mass of not-moving cars, a mess. Aaack! I didn't plan this well at all. Someone waved from the alley beside the Dome. $25! Here! Just a few spaces left! I made the turn without hesitation. "Twenty-five dollars ...

... the state, through the deserts, and the apple orchards, over Stevens Pass and through the Cascades, through Winatchee and into Seattle and then down to Tacoma. It was a pleasant ride, with the first sunshine we'd seen in days, and beautiful fall colors in the mountains. We ate jerky and nuts and read William Catton and the newspapers. In Tacoma we got another rental (a Kia Rio, blueberry in color) and made our way to our next place to stay, another Craig's List rental with ...

... friends for a brief tour of where they were constructing replicas of the first jet powered planes, made by the Germans in WW2. We also passed by a facility where they were restoring many significant old planes. The amount of money that is available for aviation restoration and preservation is extreme. If only they'ld give us enough money to restore almost hopeless old trains, crash them accidentally on the test runs and then build it back together in mint condition ...
