A trip of firsts

So, I never reported on my trip to the lovely land of Seattle, where the homeless beg for coffee instead of money (no lie). It was really a great trip, it was my first time to Seattle and my first business trip. I LOVE business trips! They pay you to go to somewhere fun! Free flight, free hotel, free food, yessss. And, Nick was there as my own personal tour guide. During the day I spent time in sessions learning about HIV Vaccines with people from all over the world. It may not sound as neat as it was, but I really did enjoy it. I loved seeing people from 6 continents joining together. And, now I have friends in Jamaica, South Africa, New York, Boston, etc etc. It's time for trip #2 :) At night I spent my time mostly with Nick, touring the city and trying out all of the coffee shops. He took me around to all the different area/neighborhoods in town that each had their own personality. We ate at some great restaurants too. Unfortunately I was sick/not used to the time zone and had a hard time staying up past about 9pm. I don't have any pictures yet (Nick is keeping them captive) but I'll post some when I get them. But, here is a list of firsts from the trip.

1. First time to Seattle
2. First time to Washington!
3. First time on a business trip
4. First time riding in a taxi
5. First time staying in a really freaking nice hotel
6. First time tipping a bell boy
7. First time eating grapes the size of a plum (for real, I couldn't fit it in my mouth, they were HUGE!)
8. First time eating sushi! Yummmm. Yay Blue C Coast.

that's all :)
