It’s the first time Mark and I traveled on separate flights going to the same place; his flight was a couple of hours before mine. When it was time for him to leave, we walked together to his gate, which was in a different terminal from my flight. After his plane took off, I stayed in the area and did some work on my laptop. I had about an hour before my flight took off, so I head on over to my terminal, and that when I found out that there was no way back, I kind of panicked and found a security guard and told him my situation. He told him that they the airport should put up signs saying you can’t go back and he let me through.

I arrived in Seattle about an hour after Mark, we met up and got our car rental, Mark had to try out his new GPS he bought in Korea; it took him almost 15 minutes to locate a satellite, but once he did, the GPS worked perfectly. We found our hotel easily, we were fortunate enough to book this hotel via Internet when we were in Korea at this site, which turned out to be the best thing we’ve ever done. The hotel accommodations were charming and in a great area.

After we checked in, the first place we went to was the test site that Mark had to be at tomorrow, we wanted to know how long it took us to get there. After that we looked on the GPS to see what sights might be close by, and the closest was the Glass Museum in Tacoma. We’ve heard about the museum from a friend of ours that highly recommended it and are we glad we did, the place was amazing and very cool. We watched the glass makers make things, like some Chihuly work. After the Glass Museum, we had dinner at the restaurant right next door. They had very good steaks.

We were heading back to our hotel, when we found an outlet mall not to far away, so, we planned to spend tomorrow there and do a bit of shopping and Mark will be getting his Certification in Engineering Technologies.
