Ah, the Seattle Monorail, also known to locals as the Train to Nowhere. The Monorail is fun, and is worth being pround of (it was a rather progressive thing when it was created for the 1962 World's Fair), but it only has two stops. Downtown, and the Seattle Center, which is a few blocks north of Downtown. Anyway, it's going to be closed during Pop's trip, they just had a fire and the evacuation was sort of a higgeldy-piggeldy, so they have it shut down until everyone forgets about it or they come up with a better procedure, whichever comes first.

Yes, Pop, you're right, I slipped into Seattle mode there. It's certainly not the end of the world that you're going to be in Seatac instead of Seattle, but it is a shame that you won't be able to experience Seattle as immersively, the area by the airport there is quite sucky. Those hotels by the airport aren't cheap either, because of the convenience, the admin would have been able to find something comparable in downtown. Oh well, next time! Hope you have fun, and I've got some haw flakes for you when I see you next!
