Lessons learned from Seattle '08 and '07.
1. Get a hotel room the night you arrive and the night before you leave. This relieves all pre and post travel anxiety and keeps everyone fresh and happy for meeting and greeting. It helps if you're Mr. Sophanne and you search the credit card companies for bonus Fairfield Marriot night points. This hotel has wifi- yippee.
2. Don't quit reading and writing blogs. It may be the only thing that keeps you sane.
3. Not every flight is as bad as the last few we've had and we've arrived safely and in relatively decent humors. I recommend 50 mg of xanax and 3 ibuprofen to take the edge off.
Ya'll are coming on this vacation with me- not just reading about it later.
Another lesson from Seattle '09
When your flight takes you from Pittsburgh to Seattle via Dulles in Washington DC, the actual flight time to Seattle is extended by about the same time it took you to get to DC. doh.
Mr. Sophanne can find treats (ice cream, muffins, milk, chexmix, and yogurt) anywhere. If he were ever to go on Survivor, they would all have apple pie as a bedtime snack.

you still crack me up!! have fun! I gather you are not visiting the Aunt in Portland..........wise. Might have been a bit stressful, crying baby and all.
So far, so good;-D And, the Mr.? He is definitely a keeper!
yea! we're coming along, or at least living vicariously through your posts :-)
Treats anywhere? That's my kind of guy! and an excellent skill to be having when out of town.
If I ever went on Survivor, Mr. Sophanne would have to go to. Mmmmmm apple pies!
I wish we could hand xanax out on every flight...sigh...bliss.
Have fun.
