Day 1 (Sunday, May 21, 2006)
2:45 AM: Time to wake up!
5:00 AM: Arrive Buffalo Airport
6:30 AM: Fly to Chicago (O'Hare)
8:30 AM: Fly to Seattle, arrive 10:30 AM PDT
11 AM: Take airport transporter bus to Seattle Sheraton, and check in. We're in our hotel in Seattle--with all of our luggage, happily--by lunchtime, local time (3 PM Buffalo time). Finish sandwiches bought in Chicago for lunch on flight.

Afternoon: Explore hotel and neighborhood
4:30 PM: Stomachs still on Eastern time say it's past time for dinner. There's a Cheesecake Factory across from hotel, but it's mobbed. Explore a bit more and find a quiet pub around the corner and have Alaskan halibut fish & chips.
6:00 PM: We've had it for the day. Go to bed at 6 PM Seattle time!
