| Space Needle |
Hey friends, here we go again. Mary Alice and I are about to board aPrincess ship for another Alaskan cruise. This one is a little different. It's a round trip from Seattle.
 |
| Hyatt Place: Our Hotel |
Our journey started our
differently this time. Mary Alice (most
of us call her “MA”) left last Monday for Los Angeles where she met her
youngest sister Nola. They drove up the coast to see middle sister Maureen who
is in a long-care private home in Arroyo Grande. The three sisters had a great visit plus MA
got to meet her grand-nephew and grand-niece for the first time (Maureen’s
grandchildren). At the end of the week on Friday MA flew from LAX to Seattle
while at the same time I flew from Houston to Seattle. She scheduled things so our flights landed
within 45 minutes of each other and we met, as prearranged, in baggage claim.
We quickly located our shuttle
van downtown to the Hyatt Place, one of our favorite hotels. We walked around checking out the Seattle
restaurant scene and settled on a place called “5 Point Café”. They had good hamburgers. MA says they also
had lukewarm spaghetti! No matter, we
were both tired so we walked back to the hotel and called it a night.

| Monorail and the Space Needle |
I was up early this morning and
explored some of the neighborhood around the hotel. There is a REAL monorail that runs through
and around downtown. This is what
Houston should have built instead of our choo-choo trains.
At 11:30 we were downstairs and
caught our van ride to the Star Princess.
After we checked in, got our cruise cards and went on board, we decided
to go and have lunch. So did 95% of the
other 2500 passengers. This created a
very long line with an hour wait, the first time that has ever happened to us on
a cruise ship.
