Alaska Trip
 ) and hopefully we can see the new 787 and also the dreamlifter. Photography is strictly prohibited.Have any other members done this tour? I was also made aware that there is a museum, which we'll check out if time allows. So we leave Sunday, some of the stops include a float plane trip over a scenic area, and a glacier boat ride trip. Any of you done an Alaska cruise, and what line was it on? I've gone on a few before, but not this line, and in the carribbean. See you guys in a week! (hope the NY meet is a blast!)

WOW! excellent timing!!!
A member at bimmerfest(JonM) told me that right now at boeing a 777 is in final assembly, and the FIRST 787 is ending production soon, and its one of the last times to see the whole plane before it goes to paint, which will be in about 2 weeks. The heavily modified 747 "Dreamlifter" is parked at a hangar near the plant.  (Oh yeah and I reserved us a Dodge Magnum  )

hellos from the biz center at the seattle hotel! Seattle is real nice, yesterday went to Boeing, saw the massive 747 being built. Also went in a concord and an old Air Force One. Today before the cruise leaves probably going to Space Needle.
(oh, and of course, Thrifty was out of Full Size rentals (Magnum, 300) so they gave us a Libery..at least its new)

If you haven't yet, visit the Pike's market area. My mom also says that the local Tully's Coffee is much better than Starbucks.

Car isn't a huge deal, I had a free day coupon so it was only a few bucks, and for the troubles I got an upgrade for the next rental.
We checked out pike yesterday some pretty cool shops around there, and he had a nice dinner at a casual seafood place. And yeah, I got some sorta iced blended vanilla thing at Tulley's, and it's better than starbucks' stuff. Weird thing is, the highways are packed here! It's worse than Chicago! But atleast we can enjoy the nice clean cool air in the city, unlike chicago.

Did the Alaskan inner passage cruise on Celebrity Cruise Lines 8yrs(that long ago?!?) ago, great trip! - sometimes the Boeing tour is booked solid, had to do it on another trip to Seattle, but usually lots of planes outside in various stages of paint representing a wide variety of world airlines, the SDI laser 747 happened to fly in when I was there, museum is in town at "old" Boeing field, that's where the Blue Angels stage out of during their show at SeaFair in early Aug, took the "duck" tour around town (tour in a modified Army "duck" amphibious vehicle and get to "quack"), a visit up the needle is $$$, but the museums are cool at the base of it, I agree, Seattle is one of those cities that it's always a joy to return to.

hello from the very slow internet on the ship-we are passing Vancouver island now, actually just past it, and it's actually sunny for the first time! Today is an at sea day, and tomorrow is cruising. Ship is nice, has very low celings but is decorated nice. Verandah is nice.

Medical Emergency On-Board
Today we had a visit from the Royal Canadian Coast Guard-apparently a crew member got ill/critically injured and warranted an emergency evacuation- the captain turned the ship around, (we were at the n point of Vancouver Is.) and dispatced a medivac and rescue boats-I took a lot of pics, the heli was hovering right over my head!!
Anyaways, nice scenery here!
