Last night we spent about 2-3 hours booking our flight, hotel, and car in Seattle and Portland. We initially were only going to Seattle, but then we decided we should also go to Portland and try to get interivews there too so we could increase our chances of getting a job. This is an expensive trip and we'd rather only have to do it once and get a job on the first try.

Anyway, we're leaving Saturday, January 5 at 8:00 am and get to Seattle at 10:30. We'll spend a few days there looking for apartments and interviewing and then take the Amtrak south to Portland Tuesday evening. Then we spend Wednesday in Portland and our flight out is at 2:45. We'll get back to Dallas around 8:30 pm.

I'm excited and really happy that everything is booked. We got some pretty good deals on airfare and hotel.
