Sleepless in Seattle

We had a great weekend in Seattle with Jandi – many laughs as we battled the US border police, and saw the size of the hotel room we were all sharing! It is a beautiful city. Even I (Nina) was impressed and I don’t really like big cities. We had a crazy dinner seated next [...]
