Planes, Trains & Ferries
Typically this is a training blog, but my misadventues in mass transit this weekend are too detailed for facebook.
Before anyone asks, yes there is a housesitter & the best intruder deterrent Aussie Rescue has ever referred.

Yesterday, I drove to north seattle and dropped off Peanut with her slaves for a long weekend. From there, I got a taxi to the ferry to Bainbridge for a company party. Which by the way was too much fun.
On the transit checklist we have automobile, cab & ferry.
So far today, we have more ferry as bainbridge is an island, light rail and shortly: airplane.
Ferries in Washington serve a dual purpose in being both working commuter transit & tourist activity. People come to Seattle and take the ferry… anywhere. Mostly because the views are awesome even in the worst weather, but I think ferries are extra awesome in the morning when the commuters ride. In the early morning there always seems to be something interesting going on. This morning was no exception as we had a Harp Busker. Yes, you read that correctly. Harp Busker.
He played the most beautiful christmas music throughout the ride. The little kids traveling into city to shop with their families would aproach him and leave change. People would stop, take photos with their phone and then talk with him. You almost can’t help it as he is super personable.
The light rail was less fun, but not a bad ride. There are places for luggage and it wasn’t especially crowded. They run every 10 minutes from downtown and take about 45 minutes to get to the airport. Since the platform is right behind the tall parking structure you really don’t walk any further.
Super easy.
Next is the plane & the automobile. Oh and finding a hotel and the wedding site since I left all my documentation at home and forgot to upload some things to Evernote.
It’s an afternoon wedding – so I have time to figure it out. LOL
