The room was quiet, the king bed was comfortable and a good night’s sleep was had.

When I opened the blinds, I realised that I had a distant view of snow covered Mount Rainier which can be seen from most of Seattle. 

I needed to go to the closest Sephora which was located in the nearby Westfield Southcenter Mall. I booked an Uber to take me there, wait for me to run in and grab my products then take me back to the hotel. Lucky I did this as the other shops were tempting me and I have no room in my luggage. 

The Hilton has a complimentary airport shuttle that runs every 20 minutes. The traffic into the airport was congested but we arrived in plenty of time. 

I know I go on about it but priority gives me the opportunity to ask for a better seat, the ability to join the short queue at security screening which took me 3 minutes,as opposed to the other queue which looked like a 20 – 30 minute shuffle. I could then relax in the United Club with a meal and beverages while charging my devices. 

At about 2:30pm I was notified that my flight time has changed to about 20 minutes after the scheduled time. So more time in the lounge here but less in San Francisco….suits me!

We arrived in San Francisco at 6pm local time. The flight was very smooth and I had the Sea Salt Chocolate Quinoa snack with a coffee.

I found the lounge nearest our landing gate and it was a different one again than the one I went to on the way here. It has a better outlook than the others where I can watch planes take off and land.

I leave later tonight to fly across the Pacific to home. Looking forward to being home again.

Good night
