Holiday events!!!!

I have a son who lives in Seattle USA. I was fortunate enough that I managed a trip there last month. Here are the funnies.

I travelled solo to Vancouver City via Victoria Vancouver Island. I asked my son before I even got to end of April to book me a train ticket from Vancouver back to Seattle.

I had him print out E ticket cause I am an oldie and want paper not images to show train operatives.

I got to Pacific Rail and asked for assistance on/off train only to be told that is not only was I not booked on a train but my son had clicked Vancouver near Portland Oregon! Ha Hah I caught a bus. Then when I got back to the hotel I booked into in Seattle the lift got stuck with little me for 15mins . Fire Department arrived and prized open the doors. Ho Ho Hunky fire-crew. So I asked for a picture!

Life seems somewhat different back home.

Hey at least you got some hunks falling at your feet.

Lucky girl!!

Seriously though that must have been a nightmare of a trip for you. May seem funny now but not at the time.

Glad you got home ok.

Hi skit

WOW! I am so genuinely sorry to read all of this my friend. I can imagine that you were best than pleased with the carry-ons? Mind you, it sounds like you had a real life adventure? I have to admit that I always want a paper ticket in my hand when I go anywhere as well.

As you know I am notorious for giving advice to people, well my advice for next year is go on a cruise! Please let us know how you get on my friend?

All my hopes and dreams for you

I am going to Seattle and then on a cruise to Alaska- you must have ESP!

Hope to see whales. Then I go to Atlanta to the Georgia Aquarium(about 10 days later) and see the whale sharks!

Hi

My son also lives and works in or very near to Seattle USA he met an american girl online and after 5 years of flying back and forward they finally got married last February, I haven't seen him since November 2014 when he went over for the last time it took them 4 months to get all of the paper work sorted for them to get married and for him to be able to work there.

I don't think I will ever be able to travel to visit so live in hope that they might come here for a visit one day.

I hope your next trip works out to be less stress full

In my youth (back I the dark ages!) I worked in Vancouver BC and we used to go to Seattle. I thought I was a lovely city. I came home to UK from Seattle to Chicago to New York by train, and enjoyed the magnificent scenery through the States. I am so sorry you had so many problems, especially being stuck in the lift for 15 minutes which must have seemed more like 15 hours. Better luck if you go again.
