No Person Left Behind

Tuesday was a great day after the return of the passports. Gleefully, we began the trip to Canada. We missed the 3:30 ferry at Tsawwassen Terminal by 10 minutes. Maybe there was too much celebrating about the found passports? At 5:30 we are on the ship pulling away from the dock. The ferry is huge with multiple 18 wheelers and cars. Once started, we begin the tour of the ship. Gerry, Joyce and Larry like sitting outside. Debbie does not. Debbie takes Larry’s picture and it is a great shot.

Larry tries to take Debbie’s picture but the wind has started to pick up so much that her hair stands straight up. Debbie tends to wander away from the group. Debbie goes to the bow to wait for the others but they never come. Suddenly, she notices that no one else is outside. She tries to go inside but can’t get the door open. She finally sees a crew member who is walking toward her yelling “Get inside – it is too windy … The deck is closed”. Debbie points out it is hard to go inside when all the doors have been locked.DSC02218

When Debbie goes inside, she finds the others waiting. They assure her that the crew member forced them inside and that they would never have left her behind. Debbie says “Hmhmph”

At 8:30 Tuesday night only 3 days behind, we make it to Canada.

Seattle – Part Deaux

If you read the previous blog in the pursuit of the passport, you know the Seattle trip extended to Monday. This makes the Space Needle trip an option.  A new attempt is planned. The group arrives early thinking the wait has to be less than 6 hours. It is 3 hours. Okay, at this point, Debbie wants to point out that the City of Seattle could do a better job scheduling the times. Why does one have to wait in the “Buy a ticket” line to schedule a time for a ticket that one already bought? Answer me that Seattle. The wait is longer than the Eiffel Tower and this is the French planning the process. The opportunity was given to schedule 2 trips but one was enough. The day was beautiful and clear. Mt Rainier is in the background of the multiple photographs. One must look closely to see it but it is there.  DSC02199

Once the Space Needle trip is complete, it is time for hiking. After discussing with a local, Hiram M. Chittenden is selected as the christening hike. It turns out that it is not really a hike but boat locks and salmon ladder. Technically there are very few salmon as they are not running yet. Debbie still doesn’t quite understand the process but got the point that the fish swim against the current and hang around waiting for a “GO”!   A nice initial walk.
Why is it so? It is because of the reluctance of people who are suffering from erection problems, is this is a problem or thinking too much about the problems is the major issue?

Honest Biscuit
Honest Biscuit

While not on the original agenda, the travelers decide to make the best of the situation and tour Seattle. Why not purchase a city pass good for 7 days? But, remember in their minds they are always leaving the next day. They first wander down to the Pike Street Market. Unbelievably, no food is purchased. The group then wonders in search of lunch and stops at “Honest Biscuit”.  Larry thought he ordered a McMuffin on steroids but got a big colored biscuit with the meat chopped into miniscule pieces. We think that the “Honest Biscuit” name comes from trusting that the ingredients are actually there. Debbie fared better with a big biscuit covered in honey. It didn’t really matter what is in or on a biscuit if there is enough honey.

The group heads over to City Center home of the attractions. Our first stop is the hour city boat trip.   The tour includes a history of the docks, the city, and space needle. For the more hip, a drive-by of Starbucks headquarters, Pier 70 (Real World Seattle house location) and the Hemp Festival. No, we did not attend the hemp festival. Then off to the Aquarium. Most exciting is to see pictures of Salmon but no real life. We did see some sea otters that were working the crowds.

Next stop was to book the Space Needle or perhaps not? A six, yes, six hour wait was just a little too much of hanging out although someone suggested the hemp festival. The Space Needle was abandoned for the trip at this point

Debbie was quite impressed and took a lot of pictures that I am sure you will be forced to view. Just tell her that you read the blog and saw the pictures and maybe she won’t bother you.

Since the goal was full value for the ticket, the group chose the “Emp museum”. The regular admission price was $25.00. Debbie can’t really tell you the purpose of this museum. She thinks that just put stuff related to music. What did we learn? Jimmy Hendrix was from Seattle, sometimes the EMP shows dancing Japanese characters on a giant drive-in movie screen that make crowd members feel obligated to dance, and it is possible to make a hanging guitar tower. Debbie and Larry did not feel obligated to dance and now know where to send stuff when it needs a home. They think Jennifer’s clarinet might need to go to Seattle and $25.00 is way too much to see it.

It Gets Even Stranger

We left our weary group with an appointment at the Passport office in Seattle on Tuesday morning at 10:00.  The night before they spent hours filling out documents.  Debbie assists with ancestry.com research on key dates and pictures are purchased at Walgreens in preparation although one looks like a mug shot. With high hopes for the passport office, we check out of the Residence Inn.  Joyce and Gerry are convinced that the passports are lost and will never be found.  Just in case the documents show up weeks from now, they leave a phone number.  Just to be safe for the momentous appointment, we leave an hour early for the 20 minute ride.

As we pull onto the freeway, Ida (GPS system) say “Severe traffic ahead – rerouting.”  Really, Ida, who says things like that?  So we reroute, although with hesitation since she keeps getting us lost in Seattle.  Turns out that we are quickly using up our safety net and there are delays on the rerouting.  Joyce starts to sweat and her phone rings with a call from FedEx to tell her that the package is “Lost”.  (Really, big surprise there?)  No one knows where it is and has been declared officially lost.  Joyce hangs up to discover that it is 9:45 and several miles away.  At 10 minutes away, a decision is made to drive down the bus lane in front of a police car.  This decision makes Debbie uncomfortable and she tries to hide in the bottom of van but realizes that the seat belt needs to stay on.  We pull up in front of the passport building at straight up 10.  Joyce and Gerry jump out and run down the street.  This leaves Debbie and Larry scrambling to get out of the middle of the street with the car.

Larry and Debbie have no idea where to go or park so begin the serpentine dance of circling the area trolling for parking.   As they make their first circle, Joyce is seen back on the street on the phone talking.  How could she be kicked out of the office so soon?  They continue the circle and Larry’s phone rings.  It is Joyce.  The Residence Inn called to say, ( wait for it, wait for it) THE PASSPORTS HAVE ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!

On the second circle, Joyce and Gerry are retrieved.  High Fives all around as we go back to the Residence Inn and claim the package.  It is a good thing that the passports showed up as the passport office wouldn’t let them in the building because of a fire drill and employees were evacuating  the building.  It would have been a long day.

So now we are on the road to Canada.  Yippee!

You are not going to believe this story

Our trip begins with an early ride to the airport. Some of our chauffeuring staff protests at the early hour.  Mia 10

The trip is uneventful. We are shocked at the number of people in Salt Lake City airport and how much they want to share about themselves.

We continue on the Seattle and settle down to wait for our traveling companions, Joyce and Gerry. Joyce and Gerry have traveled more than any people we know.  Around two, they call to share an issue just discovered. They had forgotten their passports. One needs a passport for Canada. Debbie has been quizzed at Canada customs enough to break into a sweat so is pretty sure that this will be a problem. Soo, after calls back and forth the group decides to stay in Seattle to try to recover and get back on track.

So for all you problem solvers reading this, here is what has happened.

  • Joyce convinces her friend to get a locksmith in to drill the locks and get into her house
  • Friend finds the passports – Yeah!
  • Joyce sets up an overnight delivery pick up with FedEx via Delta – Yeah!
  • Friend calls at 5:25 AM that FedEx didn’t show up – Boo!
  • Friend calls at 5:30 AM that FedEx did show up – Yeah!
  • Passports go to Norfolk to begin flight – due to arrive 7:00 PM Sunday – Yeah!
  • Passports don’t show up Monday at 7:30 PM – Boo!
  • Track Passports to Atlanta – Boo!
  • Passports to arrive on Monday at 10:30 AM– Yeah!
  • Getting smarter and check on status before 10:30 AM – Hmmmm…
  • Passports went to Minneapolis Sunday night – WHAT???
  • No, it didn’t go to Minneapolis – WHAT AGAIN?
  • OKAY, WE LOST IT but the good news is that we won’t charge you for it. REALLY FedEx????

Sooooo, we are still in Seattle and have gone to the fallback plan. Joyce and Gerry have an appointment with the passport office on Tuesday morning. Read the blog to see if they end up being deported. On the upside, Debbie and Larry keep looking at each other and say “Whew, at least it wasn’t us”.

And So It Begins

So our trip begins with packing. Debbie and Larry have two very different techniques of packing. He lines up all his different choices side by side and interviews each piece. He thoughtfully considers his selection and tries out various options. Debbie on the other hand has a big (over 2 days) or small (2 days and under). Larry has smaller bags to pack inside the larger bags which Debbie uses although has gone outside her authorized red colored bags and “borrowed” some of Larry’s green bags. On the morning of the trip, Debbie finds Larry’s suitcase open with bags aligned possibly by using a straight edge.

Debbie’s bags might have a couple of items rolled into a ball and stuffed in the corners using a Girl Scout technique. Larry’s bag closes with a fast melodic zip. Debbie’s inches closed with a slow moaning sound. At the home weigh in, Debbie weighs in at 44 pounds with much dancing around the room. Larry weighs in at 51 pounds with more dancing by Debbie. Larry points out that it is not a competition.

The Tour Continues

Now that the big tourist sites had been covered, we decided to hit some less common sites.  Our first stop was the Paris Catacombs.  With the Versailles waiting experience looming in our memory, the trio set out early as they had heard that there could be a wait and no toilets for the entire time.  Upon arrival (before opening), they found that the line snaked around three streets.  It was obvious that other people had taken “the arrive early” advice to heart more than our travelers.  We met a man from Vancouver whose wife left him waiting in line.  He couldn’t hang and eventually dropped out of the line.  We also discovered that the average Parisian standing in line smokes a cigarette ever 30 minutes.  This meant the people behind us smoked 4 cigarettes.  Do the math.  Yes, we topped the Versailles wait with 2 hours.  Lisa did not choose the line so we went straight into the catacombs.

Only 200 people are allowed in the Catacombs at a time.  They were filled with more than 5 million people.  The audio guide was especially helpful although they kept playing the funeral march which was rather disconcerting.  It is 130 steps to go down and 83 tall steps back..  We were able to beat the young  Italian couple up the steps which lead to high fives all around.

After our extended visit, we headed to the Opera house and lunch.  In support of Lisa, Debbie had onion soup for lunch (Her first and last onion soup).  They then proceeded to the Opera house.  It cost money to get in which they paid but wimped out on the expensive audio headsets.  Elsie says another over the top decorated building and is glad the Ally is more reserved although she picked up some decorating tips for them.  From the balcony they were able to spot good shopping sites.  Best of all the trio heard the street performer and street crowd sing “Country Road Take me Home”.   A little odd singing John Denver on the steps of the Opera house but it is Paris.

The shopping commenced at the Opera house and continued (for those fashionistas in the know) to Zara.  At this point, Debbie discovered that she is not a skinny little Zara woman but then remembered that she is bulking up like those women in the Louvre pictures so felt vindicated.  After some purchases not by Debbie, the group then went on a quest for the bookstore “Shakespeare & Company”.  I can’t exactly tell you why we went on this quest since we all have kindles but we did.  This required going up and down a street 2 or 3 times.  We never go anywhere directly.  Elsie and Debbie are on a need to know basis for the street addresses.  This might be because Lisa insists on using the French pronunciation to train them.  So, they repeatedly ask the same question as they have no idea what Lisa is saying thus the street that they are trying to find.  Let’s just say that the training is not going as well as Lisa would have hoped.  We were able to find the store and it is an interesting bookstore and quite famous.  We then visited the Latin quarter and more shops.

Wednesday was the last day of the museum pass so the trio decided to go to the Pompidou Museum.  It is only two blocks down from our flat and we just figured that out. On top of our game.  Debbie was able to walk them straight to the museum (no street address required).  It is a modern art museum with excellent views of Paris.  We were afraid that we were going to get kicked out of the Pompidou because Lisa kept saying that she could do that and laughing.  We finished the night with dinner.  Debbie had a hamburger, Lisa chicken tandoor, and Elsie finished with cold rare roast beef and mashed potatoes.

Let us know with a comment if you read the blog!  We need encouragement.

Versailles

We recently read an article about Versailles that said be on the train no later than 8 o’clock in the morning.   Unfortunately, we read this after we went and it would interfere with our morning croissants. We were patting ourselves on the back about riding the RER (different from the Metro).  We were somewhat annoyed that the train was so full and we had to stand most of the way.  Still did not dawn on us that it might be a backlog of people.  Seems the other people did not read the 8 o’clock warning either.  You know the amazing Museum Pass?  Well not so amazing now.  We were able to stand in line long enough to go through most of the seasons of the year, cold, warm and hot.   After an hour and a half of waiting in line, we finally made it through the gates.  By this time, Elsie had decided that cobblestones were not really that much fun.  Debbie had turned into a whiny baby and Lisa said that she might have been somewhat snarky.  However, no one cut their line today which was good as it might have been a throw down fight.

Once inside the group was mollified by free audio headsets.  Although some of the group was audio headset challenged, they kept getting the wrong numbers and rewinding.  There were also long pauses causing more confusion.  The end result was that the palace was quite magnificent and some of the party is thinking of redecorating when they return.

After 2 hours of the villa, we went to the gardens.  Here we learned to never, ever let Lisa choose the line for tickets as everyone and we do mean everyone in front of her argued with the clerks.  We began our stroll through the gardens as the rain descended completing our 4 seasons of the year.  Hoods on raincoats are great but your peripheral vision has issues. We marched heads down to the Grand Trianon.  At this point, Debbie started getting cranky again because no food.  I mean, come on, it was time to eat.  I am sure Marie Antoinette always ate and with an audience.  So, Lisa and Elsie introduced Debbie to macaroons which she had with European hot chocolate because by now Debbie was wet and cold.  She then thought that she might go into chocolate shock but was almost running by the time that they got to the Petite Trianon.  They stayed to almost closing and had outlasted the other train riders so no problem with seats.

Evidentially Lisa’s chocolate kicked in on the train because she decided to go to the Eiffel Tower.  Elsie and Debbie were kind of thinking home and drying off.  Lisa marched us to an Italian restaurant who sat us in the basement maybe because we looked like wet dogs and cats.  She graciously did not walk us to the Tower for the night picture.  We stood in the rain, took our picture and raced back to the train to complete our day.

Sunday – Part 2

We left our travelers walking.  The only way that we have walked thus far in Paris has been in the rain with our hoods up and head down.  This can lead to moments of panic when you think the other travelers have left you.  They were quite pleased to have walked, albeit not a direct route, to the Musee d’Orsay whose claim to fame is the collection of Impressionist masterpieces.  But before the first museum pass usage, lunch!  Lisa continues on with her plan to eat Onion Soup at least once every day and it was a chance to dry off.

At this point, we want to say that the Museum pass is awesome. We breezed past a long line and got to use a special door.  Let us say again, “Awesome”. We wandered around and racked up the steps.  We also saw a lot of paintings of some big women.  We decided that they must also like croissants every morning.  We did have one incident where one member exited the museum while the other two were people watching causing the immediate implementation of a meeting place and text message testing.  They were also able to talk the guard into letting the lost member back in through the exit door.  No small feat but they have learned to wave their arms while talking.

We completed our day by successfully riding the train back to the neighborhood.   They were astounded to find a huge crowd of older men at the Bear’s Den bar.  They walked through it twice on the way to dinner and noticed not a single female nor did that seem to be an issue.  The group cleaned their plates and brought back dessert crepes in an effort to bulk up for the impressionist painters.  Must important of all they were able to wrestle the door open with only two people participating instead of all three.
