Seattle - Time to Leave the Ship - May 7

May 6, a day at sea, really didn't happen. Barb got sick and quarantined to the cabin. Don't ask...but she was much better after meds and a good night's sleep. The REALLY good thing that happened was we got escorted off the ship FIRST at about 7:30 a.m. in Seattle. Then, instead of a tour bus with 60 other people to the airport, we got a complimentary taxi ride. No rush, no waiting, no hassle. (That's not our ship in the photo...I'm good, but I still haven't learned how to levitate.

Except for Barb getting sick, it was a pretty good 2 weeks. One thing I have not mentioned is the number of oriental tourists we encountered. Thousands of them, and most of them RUDE. In Banff it was mostly Koreans. They would jump off the tour busses and begin snapping pictures of anything in sight. They would push their way past us, walk directly into us, never even attempted to step out of the way.

On the ship it was mostly Chinese and a few Japanese. Same story. No curtesy, no effort to share the walkway, just RUDE. What was really interesting was how nobody spoke English...until they needed something. I became completely disorientaled on this trip.

We're home now and I hope you've enjoyed the photos. Until next time...adios and adieu.
