It was kind of nice, leaving so late in the day. We had all day to finalize packing, etc. The plants were well watered and we changed the bed and everything so it would be nice to come home to.<\/p>\n
We went to the store to buy food for the plane, because they don\u2019t feed you anymore. We had books, and I charged up the iPod with some Chris music in case he needed some tunes.<\/p>\n
It was HELLISHLY hot, of course, which left us with a problem. We wanted to wear minimal clothing where we were, but where we were going required long pants and sweaters.<\/p>\n

*my water bottle
\n*my iPod
\n*my current book<\/p>\n
Too late! I would have to buy some water at the airport and my pod would get the charging of its life. I always have multiple books, so I was covered for reading material.<\/p>\n

Warning: Alaska airlines does not have SkyMall<\/a>. I was kind of looking forward to the showcase of absurd gadgetry. But no.<\/p>\n Chris sat by the window and deciphered all the freeways for me. I was still noodlish, and could only pay attention for short periods. He was rapt.<\/p>\n I sat back and snoozed til we landed in Seattle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was kind of nice, leaving so late in the day.
