2005 travel plans?

[Gemini Cricket]

We're moving to Boston in July. Ralphie has a job lined up at Harvard.
We're planning a trip to Hawai'i in June, then back to LA and then a cross country trip (DL, Vegas, Grand Canyon, some red states, then DC, NY) to Massachusetts. I was thinking detour to WDW, but it's too dang hot in July/Aug.

Alaskan cruise, probably in late August, and maybe a trip to either WDW or DLP this fall. Oh, and Cleveland this spring- to visit Eric's sis.

We're about to shove most of our travel into the next 3 weeks. Seattle this weekend for my great aunt's 100th, San Diego the next weekend for my best man's birthday, and some tentative plans for a weekend in a cabin at Lake Arrowhead (assuming we can get there with all the snow!).

After that, work is mumbling about sending me to a conference in San Fran in April. If so, I'll extend my stay through the weekend that follows and have CP fly up to join me. Might as well take advantage of my free plane ticket, eh?

Swankers in Seattle! Wait, that doesn't sound proper. Seattle proper or a suburb? I can recommend a number of good Italian restaurants in various parts of town, as well as other eating/hotel establishments in the U-District area, should you require that information.

We've visiting family in Redmond. I don't even know how mobile we'll be. My parents will have a rental car, we may be able to commondere that, especially for some after-hours swankin' because I know my parents won't need the car that late.

We're thinking of checking out this place on Saturday. Looks swakny, and has a promising description of Saturday's music choice. But again, that depends on our car access. We could always do the taxi thing, too, but dont' know if we want to spring for that. I believe that's the Union district. Does parking there on a Saturday night suck as much as I expect it does?

Edit: Wait, looking at the map, I actually know the area pretty well. It's just north of Pioneer Square. Excellent, I can make my way around there.

Ah, the Belltown area. Very swanky indeed! Parking in Belltown on a Saturday night sucks more than you can possibly imagine. The bus is strictly squaresville, but service between Seattle and the eastside has improved greatly and is an option for those who are without a car or who don't want to be responsible for a car by the end of the evening.

Redmond is my home town, you dig? Just down the street from the evil empire. There was a great Italian place in Redmond but it changed hands and it's not as great any more. There's a cool little teahouse down town that has a great house blend. Not exactly swanky, but groovy nonetheless.
