On Friday we left work early, right before noon. It was a hectic morning. I had a second interview for a prospective job. It was casual and quick. About 11:15 a.m. the HR folks contacted me to offer me the position. Good timing! I accepted. A nice way to begin a vacation.
We grabbed our gear and headed a few blocks down to the Westin hotel to catch the Airporter shuttle through Gray Line of Seattle. For $10.25 you jump on a full-sized tour bus, plush seats, air-conditioned and a bathroom. Let someone else do the driving, right? The shuttle dropped us at the departing gates and you don't even load or unload your bags. Tip the driver, say, "Thanks!" and you're off. The best part was we purchased the online, printed them at work, and had them in our hands when we left the building.
Concetta picked us up in Las Vegas and patiently waited out the back-up at the baggage claim. Once we were back at the house we discovered that the casita was set up like a swank hotel, complete with luxury toiletries lifted from actual swank hotels. Thanks, Steph! Nothing like stealing stolen hotel toiletries. Nothing had been missed. There was music, incense, snacks, a coffee maker, and flattering photos of Steph’s teeth. Felt like home.In the kitchen was a mega feast. Cheeses, crackers, fruit, drinks, and homemade rueben bread from Concetta. It’s basically a reuben sandwich, stuffed and rolled into pizza dough. With Dave working late, the four of us made quick work of this bonanza. This was followed by some well-deserved lying around, playing with the pooches and enjoying the warm evening air. It was a wonderful welcome.
I am not at all sure what is happening here, nor am I responsible for it.
