Crazy RTW including VIP ManCity-United tickets at Etihad Stadium
I’m off today to Seattle with Mrs. SFO777 and then north to Bellingham where she would visit family for the week. After dinner, with my bonus hall pass, a 60 minute drive to Vancouver airport for a midnight flight to Taipei. This would be the start of a crazy round the world that includes a day in Taipei, a day in Brussels, then to San Francisco to pick up my grandson and back to London, to start our previously planned trip to Manchester for the ManCity-United match. Amazingly all international flights on this trip were mileage award tickets.

Nice cleaning job United.
Unfortunately, it was hard to avoid the MAX9 today.
Lunch time. The United Burger...
Way better than the pasta...
Welcome to Seattle. Lovely winter weather.
And the rental car shuttle to the off airport rental car center.
My Avis Presidents Club status usually gets me nice upgrades, but not even close today. I'm stuck with a major downgrade to a stupid Chevy VOLT. That was not fully charged. Vancouver is 150 miles and my range is 121 miles.
Still 50 miles to Vancouver but only 21 miles of charge left. 
Fortunately, Avis roadside assistance was able to find a charging station in Bellingham.
After a family dinner in Bellingham, I bid adieu to Mrs. SFO777 and headed 20 miles north on I-5 to the Canadian border.
