Rain is falling as we wake up in Seattle. All the locals are dismayed at the very unusual weather. After breakfast we relax for a while. We relax for while and load up the car for the rest of the trip. We take a quick trip to the local Safeway to pick up some Tylenol. We find a place for a quick lunch and head for the airport. After parking the car, we decide to pack some of our non-cruise stuff into a duffel and store it at the airport. Then we sit down to wait for Bud and Ann's plane, which arrives on time. We load their stuff into the car and set off for Vancouver. Getting out of the airport was a breeze, even with the construction which has shut down some of the roadways. However, once we got to downtown Seattle on I-5, we hit stop and go, bumper to bumper traffic from there to Bellingham with few breaks of free flowing traffic. The drive on into downtown Vancouver was easy. Even though it was about 2 hours later than expected, we were quite glad to get into our hotel. We were tired and hungry so we ate in the bar next to the hotel. The food was good, the music was loud, and the crowd was interesting. The picture was actually taken in Vancouver the next day, but is meant to represent what we saw all afternoon -- brake lights on the rear of cars.
