Day 1 - 12/13/2002 - Seattle to Charlotte
   
 
My lodge on the way out, at 4:45am... new wall calendar from Uwajimaya...
 
Sea-Tac and beyond... Five minutes into the cross-country flight as we broke through the cloud layer the top of Mt. Rainier became visible... like an island in a sea of clouds...
 
Changing jets at Chicago O'Hare...
 
     
 
Charlotte airport, 3200 miles from Seattle... my parents fetched me at the airport...
