I just returned from a business trip to Seattle. Very cool city, with the most gorgeous views I have ever seen. Anywhere on 1st - 6th ST has a fantastic view of the bay/harbour. Had no idea of the hilliness of the city. Had work on the other side of the water, so both took the ferry and made the drive, both were good. Bainbridge, on the other side of the bay, is a gorgeous small town. Very entrepreneurial spirit to the city, and enjoyed walking around, Pike's Market (good fresh doughnuts) and taking the Underground tour. I would defintely return, A- city (also little rain). Score could go either way, depending on the weather and casino I didn't have the opportunity to visit.
Flights were so-so, what gripes me is how airlines are now gouging on food for extra money. On a flight from SEA - WAS, no food was gratis, and the offerings were a breakfast quiche or a snack fack (consisting of freebies from various vendors) for $5. I purchased the SP, and it was a hodgepodge of crackers, applesauce, toffee, pita chips, and tuna. WTF? Also, shame on Alaska Air for a 'woe is me' article at the front of the magazine bemoaning how they have had to strip out their food service due to rising costs and competition. Guess what, that is the market you are in, get over it. God forbid you use good food as a differentiator, rather than an extra expense.
Less than a week from ACL surgery. Very anxious, not looking forward to rehab, but want to get it over with.

Good luck with the surgery. The actual procedure isn't that bad since you're out for most of it anyway. Therapy is difficult, but if you don't do it all you risk tearing the ACL again. One word of advice - if they tell you to take two Percs every 4 hours - do it. You'll think maybe you can suck it up and wait a little longer between doses. The problem is, once it starts hurting it REALLY hurts and it'll take a good 30-45 minutes for the next dose of Percs to kick in.
Thanks for the heads up, definitely plan on following orders, and will keep you guys informed on recovery.
