Well, I’m all packed and ready to head out to the airport tomorrow via the new Sound Transit Link Light Rail – I’ll probably head out a bit after 10:30am tomorrow as I’ll be walking to the Westlake station, downtown. That’ll give me plenty of time – I should be at the airport by 11:45 with the 37 minute Link ride. The Link Light Rail just began offering service to Seatac December 19th – so it’s exciting to finally use it! No more expensive cabs.

In addition to all that, I’ll be wearing a pair of cargo pants and a tshirt, along with my light Arcteryx jacket and beanie to the airport.

Well that’s that – time to wrap up some last things around here, then it’ll be off in the morning! I’ll probably post from the train, or at least from the airport :)
