After a five hour flight, we arrived in Seattle. It took us an hour to get to the hotel due to all the traffic. We had a nice dinner close to Puget Sound and then walked through the Public Market. Mr Hopper really enjoyed all the fresh fish! The first Starbuck's is across the street. We then took the monorail over to the Space Needle which was built in 1962 for the World's Fair. Mr Hopper was impressed by the Space Needle and tried to climb to the top. Don't worry, it worked out fine.
We had to make a quick shopping trip to Macy's. Dick forgot his sports jacket which is necessary for the formal nights on the ship. Now, we suspected he "forgot" it on purpose because he and Jerry both have been opposing us on dressing up for formal nights. But Dick is a good sport and, luckily, Macy's had a good sale on jackets. Thanks to our outstanding clerk, Art!
Tomorrow we actually board the ship. Stay tuned.
