We were about an hour later leaving the airport than we wanted to be this morning. But we finally got off and on our way. It was a pretty clear flight right up until we hit the mountains in Oregon, and then the weather came down on us. It didn't look like we were going to make it over them, as the Hubby isn't IFR current in the Cardinal and we didn't have the right maps anyway, so we stopped in Hood River to get on a weather computer to see what was the what. Kinda ugly, was the what, so we went to eat (Subway). Went back to the airport, decided to press on up the river canyon a ways to see if we could get out that way...and we did. The weather wasn't perfect, but it was good enough, and we made it into Seattle only a few hours later than we'd planned.
Toddled up to Half Price Books in Bellevue, where I scored 18 books for under $20. HAH. Chili's for dinner.
Wi-fi at hotel not working, v. annoying. Desk clerk let my use the hotel's comp to check my email and update LJ.
