An uneventful flight from Sydney to San Francisco. However the joys of transferring from international to domestic flights in the US awaited us. Queues for immigration, customs, to collect and put our luggage into "Transfer", security for domestic trip.... .
We did get to Seattle, minus our luggage. However the Alaska Airways staff seemed to be quite used to this, and in fact by the next morning, our second suitcase had arrived at our hotel. The only plus was that it made using the light rail from the airport to the city a breeze.
And we got a $1 light rail ticket because we were over 65.
After our substantial dinner, we slept at 8pm - very tired. And it was still only Monday!!
What we have seen of Seattle has been positive. It reminds me of Melbourne - wide street, trees, busy but not noisy or frenetic. We have begun to reacquaint ourselves with the enthusiastic US service culture - from the stewardesses on the flight, the wait staff and the hotel staff.
The only pic is of our vegetarian lunch from SFO to Seattle. I wondered if the food processor had broken down when they made the spinach dip! But we ate it all.
