Balaji Visit to Seattle 2010 September

Suddenly I am asked to go Seattle for one customer presentation. Customer was basically into a different domain than what I know. Customer domain is Networking, messaging, Protocols, and Field Assets of RailRoad offices. I started in Hyderabad on 17th friday Sep 2010 at Hyderabad to Mumbai to Frankfort to Chikago by AirIndia. At Chicago O'Hare airport, it took more than 2 hrs to get a domestic flight to Omaha. Omaha, a 5 lakh population is small cool place. Stayed at Omaha for 3 days. On Tuesday, I took domestic flight to Seattle via Saltlake City. US Airports are booming. I think, US economy is up and running as I see many people are travelling and all flights are full. Got down at Seattle airport sometime at 10pm on 21st tuesday sep 2010 and waited for Double Tree Hotel Shuttle. I stayed at 5363 room number for 3 days. Wednessday was the day of presentation at Renton and it went on well. On Thursday, I am asked to extend my journet by one day to continue further on Arhcitectural issues. As i was not having room booking beyond friday, I asked my colleague to book one room for one more day through priceline.com. I got in Hilton, next to Double Tree near Tacoma seattle Airport. During my stay at Seattle, I did not get much time to do shopping except visiting Walmart and Target.
