Flying away tomorrow!

We've actually finished everything! Well, everything important and urgent, anyway.

Yesterday was long and busy. We packed up the final load of stuff, cleaned the condo, crammed that last load into our storage units, and took the Flexcar down to Redfin to drop off our keys.

Then we walked to Casuelita's Caribbean Cafe. We piled our backpacks and carry-ons under the bar and had a great early dinner. Habenero prawns, a jerk chicken sandwich with side salad, $5 each, plus $2 each for drinks at happy-hour prices. Obviously inexpensive, and the quality was excellent. Everything was delicious, attractively presented, and the service was friendly and fast. Highly recommended! I ate there a few weeks ago and the salad and soup I then were wonderful as well. The restaurant is nicely decorated with some views out over the water. I'm expecting to eat a lot of great food in Europe, but I don't expect to often get such good food, in such a nice location, at such low prices. We have been spoiled living in Seattle.

After that, bussed south to stay with Jenny and Phillip near the airport for two nights. It's a relief to have this spare day to get organized, send email, and do some trip planning.

The next blog update will be from Paris!
