My East Coast nephews and niece flew into Seattle yesterday, a long trip made even longer when some passenger decided he didn't like the sound of the plane's engine. Everyone had to get off the plane and wait for the plane to be checked out -- it was fine -- before getting on with the flight. I'm surprised that passenger wasn't mauled by everyone else on the plane. Jack, 8, was beat by the time we checked into his hotel room. Poor kid. Pretty nice view of downtown, though, from the 32nd floor. He did perk up later when the hotel employee brought up his luggage and he unpacked his Star Wars action figures.
