Domo Does Seattle

Domo here with his last trip report for the year! Domo hasn't blogged since his trip to Dallas a few months ago (more on Domo Does Dallas). 

Domo Loves to Travel!

Last week Domo went to Seattle with Monika for a quick 3-day trip for work. Since Domo would be getting into Seattle around 11pm on Tuesday and would be getting back to San Diego around midnight on Thursday Domo did the unthinkable .. he carried on his luggage! Domo never carries on his luggage because he is an overpacker and why carry on a bag when you can check it for free? Waiting for baggage claim usually wastes about 1/2 hour though so with these late arrival times Domo crammed as much as he could into his carry-on suitcase. Domo deserves a cookie.

Domo is a Packing Wizard! All This Fit in a Carry-on!

Domo check into the Downtown Courtyard Marriott at Pioneer Square and was really excited to see that this was one of the Courtyards that had been remodeled. It was all fancy and modern! Domo liked it. Domo quickly unpacked and then went to bed.

 Domo Relaxing in His Mini-Suite

The next morning Domo planned on running a few miles at the gym and then doing his Brazil Butt Lift DVD's back in his hotel room. (From the makers of P-90X.) Huh? Brazil Butt Lift you ask? Yes, Domo is currently 3 weeks into a 3 month program that is supposed to shape and lift his rear. Are you thinking Domo's rear doesn't need lifting? You're so kind. Domo likes you.

Unfortunately Domo forgot to take his work DVD drive and grabbed one from home .. and it wasn't compatible with his laptop. D'oh! Instead of doing the DVD Domo did the enclosed workout cards in his room and hoped that it was better than nothing.

After 20 minutes of lunges, squats, and leg lifts, Domo was picked up for his day out around town. In between visiting doctors offices Domo was taken by the Freemont Troll. Apparently this is an art project with a sculpture holding onto a real VW Bug. Weird!

Space Needle in the Distance

Domo's day out in Seattle was long, and by the time he returned to his hotel he was exhausted. Domo didn't even bother going up to his room to change and went straight to the hotel lobby bar/restaurant for dinner. Yes, Domo at solo. Its funny, but Domo doesn't mind doing this anymore. Domo must be growing up.

Domo Should Have Eaten at Pho Mama

The next morning Domo went to the gym to run on the treadmill again, but instead of trying to find space to do the workout cards in his hotel room he brought them to the gym and hoped that he didn't have company. No suck luck. There was one other person on a treadmill and a few people in the pool. Oh well, they got a front row seat to the Domo-Does-Lunges show.

Domo Gets His Run On

The second day out in Seattle was much shorter and ended with a fancy lunch at a restaurant in Bellevue called Seastar. Domo can't think of when he's had such a fancy lunch and made to quickly snap a picture of his elegant ahi tuna appetizer to use in his Yelp review. Yes, Domo yelps.

Foggy Afternoon at the Airport

After lunch Domo headed back to the airport, and two flights later he was home. Domo was dead tired but luckily had the next day off .. and the next nine off after that too! Ten days off! Domo was so excited. Domo's next trip was to Maryland on Saturday for Christmas. More about that trip later!
