To Seattle to stay at Seattle Airport Hilton by myself meeting tour in Fairbanks on the 18th. A lovely on time flight. Breakfast served, good seat, flight arrived on time. Confusing at airport going down for luggage with cart, up for over street ramps and down to call courtesy car to Hilton at Airport. Took trip (3 hours) with gray line of Seattle, back at room by 7 Seattle time 10 my time, had a drink in my room and read. Went to sleep at 8:30. Nice room, nice but old hotel. Had lunch there bought candy bar. The tour was ok, guess I'd hoped to see more of water front, but out and away from everything.
18th - Sunny - unusually warm - lovely. Had a big breakfast, read and walked. Took courtesy car to airport for plane. Beautiful snowy mountains most unbelievable size, higher than plane, miles of mountains on both sides of plane. A good trip not too good a seat - middle seat - but friendly people on tour. Everyone visited, wine before and with lunch. A very confused tour guide, waited half hour for luggage, guides not with it. Boarded bus, my hotel like a under-privileged housing development [inappropriate/racist word] area of town, seedy, no keys available, someone put luggage in room, seems like a [inappropriate/racist comment].
