Thanks to Punki and Joe, Seattle's FIRST COUPLE!
I have a renewed appreciation for Seattle so it's now tying for #3 on the Cat's all time favorite Cities (there's a thread on this, if you must I'll go find it.)
BUT: getting back on topic..
Things I LOVE ABOUT SEATTLE:
*The unpredictable weather that gave us the most sunny and clear and comfortable day to go around and enjoy the sights!
*Sailing around on the Shibumi, the SUperboat (Better than those oversized yachts that lack heart and soul!)
*Being allowed to take the helm of the Shibumi (and NOT sink it or crash it into the pier!)
*The view of downtown Seattle from the Shibumi, just riding there and seeing the lights and relaxing!
*The dinner at McCormick and Schmick's and the lunch at Anthony's (not the food so much but the company, the talk and the laughs and the mileage discussions and discovering that as one of the attendees said "We are a sick bunch!" (Sick, no, obsessed, definitely.)
*The Trip to the Red Hook Brewery with AusTxHiker, Punki, DTTB and newself and enjoy that awesome Red Dark Porter (which gives that Guiness a run for its money!) ****! It's almost as good as Sams!
*Salmon in anyway, shape or form.
*The bar at the "W." With the exception of Tiffany, the service is stuck up and sometimes ignores people who are not in black Armani (how could they ignore AuH20 and ME... RRRRAAAOOOWWWLLL!!) But it's fun people watching and listening in on their conversations!
*Drinks at the Palisades and finally ending my status as a Martini virgin (With apologies to Randy if this statement is too R rated, I will delete!)
MOST of all: the company and forming new friendships and strengthening others: THANK YOU Punki and JOE, Mileage Addict, AuH20, DTTB, Newself, Mweiss, AusTxHiker, Shadow and Jackie, Travelweary and Michael and your lovely cat loving daughter for allowing me to hang out with you all and putting up with my unusual traits (which I will NOT explain here!)
And THANK YOU to the lovely red haired lady at the W bar who caught me as I was tripping and falling and saving me from busting my head and probably not making it to the PIP! AuH20 can better tell that story!
