Impact Fusion

It was 7pm when I arrived in Seattle. The bus dropped me off at the Space Needle, which looked fantastic at night. I walked to my hotel, which was the Best Western Executive Inn. I purposely booked this hotel online, because I thought it would be a nice place to stay, click here, if you’d like to have great service and great accommodations.

When I finished unpacking, I head to the lobby and the staff told me about a jazz bar. I went and had dinner at the hotels restaurant and while I was there, I over heard the group of people sitting next to me, about how they were going to check out this jazz bar. I entered into their conversation and told them that I was planning on going to. They invited me to join them at their table, which was great. There were eight people in all, 2 were from Australia, 3 were from New Zealand and the rest were Americans. Apparently, they were all acquaintances who met on the same flight to Seattle, and they really hit it off, so they met here for dinner and planned to check out this jazz bar. They all love jazz.

That night was a load of unexpected fun. They all have been travelling for ages, so they all told me stories as I continue on with my travels around Australia and New Zealand. I even got some of their email addresses, they told me to ask them anything when I’m in Australia and New Zealand.

It was after midnight when I got back to my hotel, and some of the Americans were staying there also. They asked me if I’d like to join them tomorrow an see the Snoqualmie Falls, which is about 15 miles outside of Seattle. They had a rental car and said it should only take about 40 minutes to get there. I accepted their offer and we made plans to meet at the front desk tomorrow morning around 7:30am.

I had no idea that Seattle would be such a friendly place, even though non of the people were from Seattle!
