In an Alaska Boardroom at SEA

We cemented our relationship with Alaska Airlines by signing up for a three-year Boardroom lounge membership, an optimistic move in more ways than one.

We walked over the light rail bridge up a block from the Hilton (a pleasant 6-7 minutes) and we're through the TSA Pre-Check line and seated here within a little over a half hour.

Our first flight of 2016 takes us to New Orleans, where we'll enjoy ourselves for a few days before Amtraking our way back to Seattle.

Happy New Year!
