Best hotel som far in Pasco, WA. Leaving for Boise, ID.  Lots of driving today.  In the news

After breakfast and checkout, we went to Home Depot to get some tools and flooring… To bad they didn’t have what we wanted…. 🙂 We settled with a cooler and some ice. Since the end of the Oregon trail museum was close we drove by. Not much to see, so we are heading to DowntownContinue reading “Portland”

Museum of flight Started the day at the museum. Before we entered the museum we waited a bit along the air strip, as people gathered with cameras… Having waited half an hour the Blue Angels turned up and did a formation take off.  Drove to Seattle and the Pike Place market. A bit chaotic traffic,Continue reading “Seattle”

Today the plan is to drive from Tacoma to Portland via mount Rainier.  Starting to get into the timezone now so we wake early.   Cool morning.   Was a foggy day…. Did not see much of mt Rainier.    Nice trip through Paradise.   On our way to Portland.  Of course we made itContinue reading “Cascades”

Brr. Cloudy and cold…. Just like home. Upgraded rental car. Great!!  What Volvo XC70????  Considered luxury car? Oh, we’ll probably better than the other foreign options…. Computer crash…. How is that possible for a service company?? Ending up with a Toyota 4runnner?  Ok.  That car was gone.  Now we get a Lincoln MKX. Tired andContinue reading “Seattle, WA”

Checked into the hotel and walked about in the neighborhood. Checking tripadvisor for restaurants. Trying #49.   Waiting for a rock burger and planning tomorrow.  It was a good burger!  My trusted 24-70mm seems to need repair again. Hard to zoom, which is not a good sign…. Used it for many years now, but expensiveContinue reading “Tacoma, WA”

Had a good nights sleep. Have booked a hotel for the next few days.  Having a brunch today, before leaving for this time.  Brunch @ Burnesville with our friends.   So, when early at the airport, everything is working fast and smoothly. Now I have to relax a few hours before takeoff.

Sad weather, nice to leave.   Leaving early, since I am flying out at 6am. No queue at check-in. A bit at security. Nice since I have to empty the entire cabin luggage. Phone ringing at 4am??? Ah. K on his way to work. Makes sense.  Going into airport wait mode.   In the newsContinue reading “Leaving”

Ahead of schedule, but longer to wait. Managed to get in the bus without too much rain. Through passport control. Waiting for T. Whatever is taking so long?? Ah finally. First interview done. Waiting…. Hot croissant – just had to! 😊  30 more minutes to wait before gate opens. Leaving at 10:35 – arriving atContinue reading “Amsterdam”

We left a bit after schedule, should be able to catch up.  After a while I was bored and had to figure out something…..  Made it to Minneapolis. Security and customs took a while this time…. The shuttle took us to the wrong hotel. To similarly named hotels one at MOA the other at theContinue reading “Minneapolis”
