I was the unofficial tout guide since I had been there for the last week. By the end of my whole Seattle trip I had been to the Market 5-6 times, the waterfront three and rode the ferry twice, but that's ok because it was different every time. The week during the meeting the weather was again beautiful and downright hot on Saturday, not ONE cloud in the sky....I got a bit of a burn while riding the ferry. The cloudless, sunny sky allowed for great views of the mountains too.The meeting's opening session featured Christopher Gardner, the man whom the movie The Pursuit of Happyness is based on.
He was a very entertaining speaker, so much so that even having seen most of the movie I was captivated as if I had never heard the story before. One little tidbit that surprised me was that his son was actually only 14 mon old when the plot of the movie happened, they chose to make him older in the movie for the dialogue. The closing celebration of the meeting featured Jay Leno! I am a Leno fan anyway, but after seeing his stand-up I am an even bigger fan! I absolutely recommend seeing him live if you have the chance.My flight home was to leave at 8:30am with a connection in San Fransisco, putting me in STL at 6:30pm. So I was at the Seattle-Tacoma airport by 6:30am on Sunday only to find out that my flight to San Fran had been delayed and I was going to miss my connection, so they put me on a direct flight to STL leaving at 11:55am. I had a bit of time to kill, but it was worth it to fly direct. However, since I was switched flights my luggage would not be making the trip with me. I had to file a complaint once I got to STL, and it was delivered to my door the next day. I would much rather have delayed luggage on the way home than to my vacation!
The meeting was a lot of fun and we had about 15 people from our school attend too. Though some of us don't always hang out together we all had a lot of fun!
That's me and a drop of Opti-free contact lens solution.
