are we there...

...yet??

A final day of packing, a wonderful dinner at Missoula's The Pearl, farewells and cuddles with SB who has kept the puppy side of things fulfilled it is airport time.
All suspiciously quiet and Alaska Airlines check in offering free baggage check in...as the plane is delayed and with a tight connection in Seattle.
The connection becomes impossible as the delay increases and the final flight west (roll them wagon trains!) is full...b and b in a Seattle hotel beckons.
Then Lindsay, champ that she is, wanders over with beam as big as the crescent moon and I have a seat on the last plane to Bellingham!
By now a late arrival is even later and dear C and P arrive in the wee small hours of Saturday morning and it's hello Washington State.

Thank you again to the Montanan 'Ms' for a once in a lifetime adventure. xx
