Day 1: Bon Voyage!

That was a lot longer that I had anticipated!  From a 5am wake up to a 3am bed time.  The most exciting event of the day unfortunately was the plane ride: a last minute landing pull-out, enemy-fire-evation style manuever to avoid landing on the wrong runway.  We almost landed on the “take off” runway.  Ooops!  Err… “There was a miscommunication from the tower”, as the pilot offered.  Thanks guys.

Once on the boat things ran much smoother.  The view of Seattle from the harbor is amazing.  You can see downtown, the Space Needle, the Seahawks and Mariners Stadiums.

While doing a brief once over of the ship, I discovered this great deal in the spa.  For $150 I got a weeks worth of private access to a slew of great ammenities.  Including suanas, a hot mineral bath, and hot beds.  I have a feeling that will be the best $150 I spend all week.
