So... we made it to seattle. We weren’t able to access the internet from Glacier (obviously) so we had to stop along the way to use a hotspot. We planned out where we would stay, a trip to church, where to drop off the car etc etc...
After the long trip (10 hours + stop for dinner at a relatively fancy diner in a fairly major town in Washington, which escapes my memory.
We arrived at our campsite... only to find that for some reason it was close... so... motel again. The town inn I think it was called. Not bad, although the screaming and arguing couple came as standard to see us off in the morning.
Our church plans fell through too since it took us forever to clear out the car. I say us, it was mostly Sam! Thanks Sam!
So, we dropped off our bag at baggage storage at the airport (nice idea hey) and drove into downtown Seattle to drop off the car and see the sights. We returned the car without any trouble then headed to the old fish market, wandered along the coast, had a MacDonalds (first of the trip) and eventually ended up at the seattle center to see the spiky tower thing and a few other sights.
We realized at that point that we were tired so decided to find the nearest movie theatre with the assistance of our Sat Nav (now in hand rather than in car). So, we saw Harry Potter... not bad we both thought.
Then, much to our delight there was a nice pub just down the road from our bus stop and we have a few drink then made our way to the airport.
What happened after that is a tired blur. We flew to Texas, then to LaGuardia. We Taxied it to JFK were we hung out until Sam took ANOTHER night flight to the UK...
Thats it... trip over... And hopefully Sam has had a good sleep since he got home!
