Flight #3 SEA to SLC

The longest flight is out of the way. The flight time was 2 hours and 59 minutes, why the flight crew couldn't have just said 3 hours is beyond me.

Finally got to fly on a really big plane! It had a separate first class section and then was just huge in general. We had TV's although some odd clay-mation kid's show was playing. However, I didn't need any entertainment on that last flight. Flying over the Dakotas, Montana and Washington was breath taking enough.

Check out these awesome pics of the mountains... (the rest are on Facebook)



So clearly I'm already in love with Seattle and it's definitely on my list of places to come back and visit. It just has a completely different feel to it. I do enjoy the west coast, it's just far. I wish the US just consisted of all the states that touch the Ocean and I think I'd be much happier.

When I landed it was 11:00am PST meaning it was 2:00pm EST and I realized I hadn't eaten anything since 8:30am CST. Confusing huh? Went to a yummy little place right near my gate and ended up sitting with another road warrior for a meal together. He was also traveling for business, but to Tokoyo...legit. Turns out he went to Duke, his parents live in Greenville, NC and he used to frequent Wrightsville Beach. Small world huh? I was lucky to have a friend and someone to talk to over lunch and had a salad with the absolute best tomato basil dressing I'd ever had in my life.

I can't believe where this day has gone already. And I can't believe I woke up so long ago. I'm definitely getting tired and think I'll probably be taking a nap on this next flight as I spent the last one reading/gazing out the window. Thankfully I ha a window seat, although I was of course stuck next to that guy. Yes, the older gentleman who had no limits in personal space and fell asleep within the first two minutes of the flight and snored throughout the duration.

Not sure how many hours this next flight is I'm really sick of doing the math and trying to think back and forth between time zones. I'm leaving at 1:10pm PST and arriving in Salt Lake City at like 4:15pm MST so I guess it's like two hours-ish I'll say. I just remembered that we lose an hour tomorrow for daylight's savings however I am lucky because I'm gaining too. So ya'll have fun losing an hour while I gain one instead! Or at least for this week coming up. Luckily after ID I'll be in IL so making the adjustment back to EST in increments.

Well I actually am not sure how much time I'll have in Salt Lake City but I'm not sure if it'll be enough to blog. If not I'll just have to catch up later as I'll have to use my time wisely to 1. make it to my connection and 2. find post cards to collect for my scrap book.

Hope everyone is having a good afternoon in EST as we just leave morning here on the West Coast!

Until Salt Lake City...or maybe Pocatello later tonight haha
