At Seatac, ready to fly

Kelly took this picture of me when he dropped me off at the airport.
Thanks for the ride, Kelly! My car hit 100,000 miles on the way there
(we couldn't
fit the bike box in his civic)!

The woman who helped me at the Alaska airlines counter was very
friendly and patient with my situation (I don't think they see too
many people travelling internationally with a bike). The best news of
the day is that they didn't charge me a cent to take my bike!
Hopefully I'll be as lucky when I fly to Australia and again when I
fly back to the states. :). Just an hour now until my first flight (to
San Fran)!
