Hey! Another Post from Me!
So I've started my "homeless" hours. It's the time between checking out of the hotel and our flight home...hhmmm...about 10 hours. Today I've picked the little hotel living room with the fireplace - cozy.
We watched "the news" on PBS last night. Ya know, the reaction to President Bush's plan to send more troops to Iraq. I listened to Madame Secretary Rice's explanations and I got shades of "Vietnam and we aren't and won't go into Cambodia" shivers up and down my spine. this is just not good. ( I said so before I heard the same from Senator Hagel) In my opinion, the war in Iraq is now a civil war - outsiders don't belong. We've "liberated"; We've train military personnel; it's now the Iraqi's right to decide what kind of government they want and implement it. Willies.......
We had a ghost in our room this week. Ok, well, maybe not a ghost but something was ringing the phone once an hour during the first night and a few times during the day. Unplugging the phone at night was the only solution to that. While discussing out room charge this morning at check out, I reminded them the ghost was still out and about AND they told me it's now effecting 4 other rooms and they have the phone company scheduled to come in to check the lines in all the rooms. What a PITA that will be. Ahem..."all the more reason to lower the rate in the Johnston's room" I'm good. As annoying as it was for us, I can't help but sympathize with the people here who are undergoing bone marrow transplants. I'm sure they need the phone ringing less than I do all night long.
The mass transit drivers in Seattle are very nice. My shuttle guy didn't pick me up again yesterday so I decided to take the bus back to the hotel. Ok, I got on the wrong bus from downtown - during peak hours the #71 bus becomes an express and doesn't go by the hotel..I needed #70 but it doesn't stop where I was standing...anyway..we got it all straightened out and I got back to the hotel just fine AND with knowledge of how to do the bus from yet another point. I'm getting there.
aaahhhh only 9.15 hours until take off...see you back in VT and have a fine weekend all........
