A Good Way to Go

I'm so inspired by my recent travel to Taiwan and Hong Kong that I decided to include more information and thoughts on travel in my blog.

Living in the quiet woods has a few disadvantages; one being it's damn far from any airport. I always dread the drive to Sea-Tac, so unless it's my 84-year-old mother coming visit I usually ask my guests to rent a car! Even though my partner Curt kindly and willingly offered to drive me to the airport this time, I decided to search for a better alternative. The ones I already knew were expensive and irregular.

I found one! It's Kitsap Airporter (www.kitsapairporter.com). It costs $21.50 a trip and it runs every hour from Poulsbo from 2 a.m. to 10 p.m. To and from the airport I had women drivers who were courteous and excellent drivers. One of them lived in Thailand while she joined the PeaceCorp. We chatted the whole way about traveling. That was a great start to my journey and reminded me why I used to love travel so much - you just never know whom you are going to meet and so often when you least expected you meet the most interesting people.
