Alaska Criuse, 9-22-19

.We flew into Seattle through St. Louis, on Southwest airlines.  A long day starting with an Uber from the house to the airport at 9am.  A pre-rented car from Alamo got us to our AirBnB right near the airport.
We drove to dinner at a Hawaiian BBQ place and it was delicious.
Realizing we'd forgotten to bring razors, we found a WalMart and then went back home for bedtime.
In the morning (Saturday), we met Kenneth, Ken, Patsy, Pam, and Doreen at the Renaissance downtown to go on the Winery and Waterfall tour.  Mark, the Tour bus driver picked us up and we picked up John, Kenya, Jim, and Donna to go to the Saint Michelle winery in Woodinville, WA.  Several enjoyed the tasting (Earth, Wind, and Fire were playing there later that evening).
From there, it was off to Chandler's Ridge for another tasting and lunch from Purple.
After that, it was a long ride through the countryside of Carnation/Tolt to the Snoqualamie (Twin Peaks) falls... yawn.
From there it was a short bus ride to Baume Chocolates for a tour and samples... yummmm, and then back to Seattle where we ate dinner at Ivar's Fish Bar.  Johnny and I walked back to the Parking garage where some lady had mistakenly put her debit card where the ticket should go and jammed the machine.  Without an attendant there, we had to wait twenty minutes for one to show up and let us out.
In the morning, we dropped Johnny off with the luggage at Pier 66 and I set out for the Alamo return.  After a twenty minute delay waiting for a train to pass, Google sent me to the wrong address.  Finally I made it there and they shuttled me to the pier in time for Check-In.
On board, we met with the gang in The Local.
To our rooms, we found it tiny but the shower was roomier than most. My luggage arrived first so I got it put away before Johnny's arrived. No drawers and twenty hangars later, we were set.
Dinner that night was at Cagney's and the rest of that evening was spent on the start of the scavenger hunt.
The next day (Monday) started with Trivia, a fueling and protien while watching the endless, gray ocean out of the Observation Area windows.
