Seattle Washington
Posted Thu, Sep 17th 2009, 09:29Even with a little soggy weather in the morning - pack your umbrella and rain gear and enjoy. Food was great at every restaurant we ate at. The Athenian in the Market had a great view of the water. Little bistros and restaurants everywhere. We stayed at The Hotel Max. The hotel reminds you of the W hotel chain. Loved it. Great location down the street from the Pike Place Market. The Red Fin Restaurant, we ate there during the Happy Hour. Great appetizers and Saki. We had sushi, toboyaski french fries (spicey ketchup with ginger in it), and mushroom dumplings. All were great at half the price from the evening menu. We were still on CST Time so 5pm Seattle time was dinner time for us. Sites to visit always are the Market, Space Needle, and ride the monorail. On the plane we had a great view of Mt. Ranier. Tomorrow's blog will be getting to the ship and my embarkation experience.
