It feels good to be back in the airport with my carry on
luggage, ticket, and passport in hand. It feels especially good to be traveling
with my brother Samuel for this summer trip. Everything is a little less
stressful with him here (mainly not having to go to the bathroom with all my
luggage). But seriously, having a travel companion is really nice. I approve!
We are heading to Seattle, Washington, to visit family and
to attend my college friend’s wedding. Seattle has been on my list for a
while now – I’ve wanted to see the Needle and take in
what I imagine to be the salty air. People seem to really love Seattle; several friends and family friends visit Seattle on a regular basis or have recently travelled there and above to Canada. It sounds like a
healthy place to be. I’m excited.
