DAY
1

And finally we are off...

3am alarm call and our taxi came to take us to the airport, I would definately recommend Doris cabs, punctual and efficient  (all be it a bit grumpy about the early job)

Our customary beer and breakfast at Weatherspoons.

We eagerly awaited our flight, and thank goodness all went to plan.

Our 9 hour flight went well and we arrived in Seattle 25 minutes early, now for luggage lotto at the baggage scrum. Seatle have nailed it, collect bags first then to passport control and immigration, almost no queues!

I always refuse to stay at a hotel with a number in its name. Say hi to Motel 6,  Not the most luxurious accomodation but hey ho.

A nice dip in the pool, it was damned hot on the poolside.

Anyone for a Dosa? Dinner tonight at the Madras Dosa Corner, always keen to try something new " what is a dosa?" Ian asks our waiter.. "Its Indian crap" ( translates to India Crepe ).

This beauty was filled with bubble and squeak and served with dips and a warm spicy curry sauce.

The currys were very good, Ians looked like weird brown sludge, Mine was a Butter chicken Masala,very rich. We are exhausted so an early/late night is called for.. Goodnight dear reader xx
