The end of the Seattle trip
Jan. 3rd, 2007 03:18 pmSo, as I said, I was up bright and early (actually dark and early) on the 27th to take the train back up to Seattle. This time I sat next to a very quiet guy with headphones and we both listened to our respective headphones and ignored each other for the whole ride. (On my trip down I made friends with an older guy who was reading comics and we chatted about movies and he told me about this radio theater thing he does, and then the guy across the aisle started talking to me about Norwegian death metal and Lords of Chaos.) :)
After a very long train ride with many stops to wait for freight trains, we finally arrived in Seattle about 1 1/2 hours late. I met up with my aunt, threw my bags in her car, and set off to do some exploring downtown while she went to lunch. I wandered around downtown and visited a yarn store, then stopped at Cafe Ladro for some chai and knitting. I met up with my aunt again and then had a lovely dinner with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hibrian at Taste of India.
Thursday was a busy day. I got up pretty early, headed to Little Knits with my aunt to get my yarny gift, met up withordinarydude on Broadway where we had Mexican and walked around for a bit. Then we walked to his house to get his car and headed to Chocolati on Greenlake. He returned me to my aunt and uncle's where hibrian picked up me and all my stuff. We went to Olive Garden for dinner and then he dropped me off at the airport where I was immediately informed that my flight was delayed an hour.
I plugged in and watched some Smallville while I was waiting, and then finally boarded the plane and left Seattle at about midnight (or 3am Eastern). I slept most of the way home except for when I was woken up by turbulance that was about to bounce me out of my seat, loud dinging, and a rather forceful announcement to get back to your seats right now. I did have my seatbelt on. But thankfully that only lasted a few minutes and I could get back to sleep in time for my arrival in Boston at about 8:30am.
Then I grabbed my luggage, took the T home, and crashed into bed with the cats! Whew!
