Long Seattle Layover + Alaska Air SEA-HNL

Alaska Air N Terminal Lounge + SEA-JFK
Our HNL-SEA flight pulled into the North Satellite terminal at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport slightly ahead of schedule. It was already dark outside and (surprise, surprise) rainy.

Luckily we were up early and … [Read more...] about Final Day in Seattle

Following our adventures and lunch at Starbucks Reserve Roastery & Tasting Room, the wife and I decided to have dinner at Goldfinch Tavern. But before that, we headed over to downtown Seattle to visit Chihuly Garden and Glass. While the sculptures are stunning, it is basically a building full of glass.
