This time, just the two of us - me and tyre. Its been ages since we went on holiday together - just the two of us and no one else. The last "two of us" holiday was like 4years ago - we went to phuket and we were bored of each other by nightfall. Since then, we always holiday with friends.
Anyway, since this time, its just the two of us, for a change - and it was planned by tyre! all by tyre! finally after being together for years, he finally planned a holiday for us!
Here's the big travel plan - Seattle, Vancouver and LA! Yeah.. we love LA so much we are going back again! All in 2 weeks!
Here's Seattle first! First tots of Seattle - Sleepless in Seattle (the movie starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks) and Home of Starbucks!! Overall, Seattle's a really nice place to wander around. We opt to wander around by foot and not driving since we stayed in the city centre.
Pike Place Market - one of the Top 10 places to go in Seattle. Its basically a wet market but sooo bustling with locals, tourists, activities. The flowers sold there are soooo prettty and affordably priced - USD4 for a whole bunch. "they" say must look at the bronze pig while at pike market cuz its symbolic - what a let down, its located at a corner and quite forgettable.
The birthplace of Starbucks is located at Pike Place too! Its just a small shop that's quite easy to miss. Seattle's filled with busy Starbucks joints every other block or so in the city center! And its usually crowded!
THE CRAB POT! A MUST GO! its one of my world's best food! Super YUMZ! I drool as i type now. So good we had it twice! Its basically crabs, sausages, potatoes, corn, clams, mussels boiled with special spices, then served in a big pot!. Then they empty the pot onto the table for you to feast on! YUMZ! Dig out the crab meat, dip into melted butter and chew! slurp!!! Its pretty pricey @ about USD68++ for 2 pax but its definitely worth it! Its our best meal for the entire trip!
We took a 15-minute ferry ride to other side of seattle - Aki Beach. Its one of the recommended places to visit. We didnt like it much but it was overall relaxing and quite there. The cafe where we had lunch had interesting sugar sachets - with quotable quotes.
That's all for Seattle. I will always remember THE CRAB POT the most!
Next stop - Vancouver!

Other sights around Seattle like the Seattle Center (top left picture - where u can pay to go up to see the view) , the Olympic Sculpture Park, the pier etc. 
We were looking for breakfast and chanced upon this "The Crumpet Shop". Freshly baked ones - tasting somewhat like mufins except more moist. The first time i had crumpet was at HK cousin's place and so i wanted tyre to try it too. His order ham and egg was good but my egg with pesto is a waste of my calories intake.
Next stop - Vancouver!
