YOLO! Bill & Maureen's Great Adventures

  Welcome to the windy city.   We land nearly 40 minutes early and immediately i know there has to be a trick.  Well, of course there is.  I do believe we landed in Missouri and we are taxiing to Chicago.  We literally were moving for over 30 minutes (que the same screaming kid who is now shirtless and shoeless).   We finally arrive.  Need food!   But, wine first.   Head to the American Club and what do i see?  “Nuts on Clark”.  Well, I do love me some nuts (hehe) and my friend Sarah has the same last name so i feel compelled to drop $22 on 2 ridiculously small bag of nuts but they are admittedly, tasty.   Flight ✈️ is on time.  What?!   Say it isn't so.  First class Bill says.  Happy wife.  Happy Life.  Seattle here we come! Despite the hour (midnight for us), the arrival into Seattle was stunning.  Mount Rainer and all her glory.  Rarely am i speechless (just ask Bill) but i was in awe ...

  When you're a female, going on vacation is an event.  Your face needs to be in tip top shape, your hair needs a dye job and refresh and your toes need to be pretty.  You’d think we were going on an island vacation where all these body parts would be on view for the world.   Me? I’m going to Alaska where my newly “pretty in pink” toes will be hidden in soft wool socks, my gorgeous blue hair covered by either a Red Sox hat (i can proudly wear it since they are kicking ass and taking names) or sadly, a wintah hat and my face well, my face will be on full display.   I can’t wait to stand outside my room and scream at the top of my lungs “I can see Russia from my window”.  A little 2008 election humor    Look 👀 how spooky I look getting my hair done!  💇‍♀️  Just as we are closing up the house in Lamoine, we find out that the modem has died so no phone and thus, no communication to the alarm company.  Honestly, I can’t  make...
