Travel Diary

It was nice to sleep in. I got as much rest as possible and then packed everything up. There was even time to make a final video. After that, it was one last Scrabble match with the parents, to which I emerged victorious. An undefeated weekend for me! I had some time remaining so I watched a little more tv: “The Diplomat” on Netflix. Then I headed to Meridian to meet up with Mimi and Greg. We all went over to a sushi place that was quite good (yeah, sushi in Idaho). It was nice to catch up with my friends formerly from the Bay Area in person. Around 5pm, Greg gave me a ride to the airport. I only had an hour until takeoff, but that airport is fast. Security time was under two minutes for everything. So nice. Boarding also started early. No upgrade for me for the flight, but again, very short.

I did accept the free drink (Diet Soda) and the pretzels on the flight. They didn’t do the free chocolate bar. Maybe it was too short a flight. We landed at SeaTac, though at N-Gate so a train ride to reach the exit. I then caught the Link train home (the entire way) and walked back to the condo. Vacation over.

Oh, I should note that I had a fair amount of Halloween candy with me. I could’t pass it up. I grabbed a cookie too. Normally, I would have snacked on a LOT of that food during the trip, but even on vacation, I needed to stick with my daily calorie limit. Saving it all for later was the best plan.
