TK and I met mom in Seattle. We needed a night and morning of powershopping to get things together before embarking the cruise ship. We ended up at the car rental place to return the car with 4 LARGE bags, 4 medium bags and numerous shopping bags in addition to my new sewing machine. Lucky for us, a very nice cabbie (i think his name was Ahmed) loaded everything into a TOYOTA COLROLLA and we were off to the pier! During the drive I got a (missed) call from the Holland America people, wondering where we were... come on guys, I got there almost 2 HOURS early! We were quite happy to get rid of all of our stuff and breeze right through to the gangway though. WE MADE IT! WOOHOO!
