So, it is up bright and early to catch the ferry from Bremerton to Seattle for the AMS Users Group Power Users Conference. There is no cost to take the ferry to Seattle and it is a pleasant one hour ride with lots of scenery and a dramatic view of the Seattle sky line as the ferry comes in to the waterfront. The ferries are clean and comfortable and it is obvious that lots of folks take this ride everyday to work. Many of them fly to their favorite seats and catch up on their sleep during the ride.
From the maps I reviewed prior to making this trip, it looked like an easy 6 or 7 block walk to the conference hotel. What I didn't realize was that it seems to be all uphill, all up a VERY STEEP hill. I am sure it is steeper than San Francisco! And I knew that I would have to repeat this envigorating morning intensive workout tomorrow (glad the meeting was only two days long).
The Power Users seminars are always a great experience, and this one was not to disappoint. Many of the same faces I see yearly were there again and it is good to see old friends. The food was good and facilities comfortable.
Getting back to the ferry was much easier - all downhill.
The second day of the conference ended with a meal with the Power Users Committee at Anthony's - great chow!!
Caught a cab back to the ferry landing and got back to Bremerton to join Mary for a couple of drinks.
From here on it is all free time and the Navy Nuclear Weapons Associations 22nd annual reunion at the Hampton Inn as our reunion base hotel.
