Alaska Cruise - Day 8

Our last day, coming off a wonderful vacation to be followed by a tour of Seattle.

Pier 91. Rhapsody in dock and being provisioned for the next sailing. Wish we were on it!

Everything on the trip was going well until we were ready to leave Seattle. The bus driver didn't really know how to work the wheelchair lift (she said it was the wonkiest lift in their fleet--makes sense to send that bus when they know they have a wheelchair to load). But the driver didn't really know what she was doing and took about 15 minutes to finally get the lift stowed after we had visited Pikes market. We even showed up 10 minutes early so that we wouldn't delay everyone. it was one of the passengers that had to help and get it fixed.

Once we got home we discovered our car would not start. Airport Security was nice enough to help us get it started. they discovered our battery and cables were very corroded and suggested we go to AutoZone to get a replacement. Course, the first Autozone we found (thank goodness for GPS) could barely speak English and had a hard time understanding what we needed. So we drove to a Sears. Once the battery and cables were replaced we were on our way. And we got to avoid rush hour traffic.

The pets were glad to see us and it was good to be back home after a wonderful vacation.
