Seatle at last....

In Seattle... 

So we finally made it to Seattle and we are staying at the home of Tiberio Simone, author of La Figa, visions of food and form.. He is not only one of the nicest people I have ever met but also one of the best Chefs I have ever had the pleasure of sampling food from. When we arrived at Seattle Tacoma International airport and he picked us up, instantly he was natural, down to earth and you could feel his good vibe. 

Seattle is as I expected, clean, nice, and great weather. (well not hot and humid ike Florioda where it feels 100 every day of the summer months.. Its nice to be in a place where houses look like cottages, people are very friendly, and Tiberio's house is not only splendid but has a magic almost like feel about, instantly making you feel at ease and comfortable, and that before he served us some food to munch on. It was absolutely to die for.. Amazing as was the wine we drank and he so hospitable it makes you feel like your at home.

Its 3:28 AM out here on the West Coast and I can hardly wait to explore this beautiful neighborhood in the morning. By looking outside the living room window I see Tiberoio's natural gardens, where he grows tomatoes, and just about every other exotic vegetable and herb imaginable. A remarkable person all the way around and a great place to start our trip to Seattle. 

So far Jessica is batting 1,000 with first her choice of a trip, second her choice of an airline, and third a place to start our trip.. The home of Tiberio Simone, perhaps the best cook (Chef) and a man of many talents, I have ever met...

Avant-Garde arrives in Atlanta...

Atlanta:

Well as I had said in Miami, we have arrived in Atlanta and once again I am extremely pleased with the people of Delta. Not only do they put us on the upgrade list for the next flight but they actually give us a free day at the Delta Sky Miles club.. I mean come on this just doesn't happen normally.. Please keep in mind that we missed our flight and it was totally our fault.. nothing with them.. This airline is unbelievable.. 

Anyway we landed safely and on time and are here in the Sky Lounge waiting for our plane ride to Seattle, which is quite long and i hope we get that upgrade... Anyway from Atlanta all seems good, the Delta Sky lounge here is about as nice as they get.. Its the most modern contemporary lounge I have ever seen.. Please see the pictures I have attached below for all of you to see...

This Lounge is amazing.. Simply comfortable, nicely kept, and a perfect place to get some workl done like blogging, getting stuff ready for your trip, or of course you could always relax and nap.. Very nice overall presentation from Delta Airlines....

Seattle here we come.. Avant-Garde takes a trip

Seattle...

So Jessica Hale and I are on the way to Seatless and already we are having what promises to be a memorable trip. We missed our flight scheduled for 3:15 because we could't find parking at the Ft Lauderdale airport no less. This is suppose to be the easy airport although I have to admit we were running late leaving the office at 2:15 in Miami fot a 3:15 flight in Ft Lauderdale. Seems we are always running late..

Well at least Jessica who is a Delta Airlines Platinum member got us on the very next flight and was able to get us checked in and ready to go and it's now only 3:16. Our flight is at 4:30 I believe. And although now we have a 5 hour layover in Atlanta I can at least rest knowing we will be able to hang out at the Delta Sky Miles Lounge which are some of the nicest in the industry.

The entire experience has been pleasant and Delta employees have been more then kind to us and shown us the way airline employees should behave and act.. They are not only some of the nicest employees in the industry but very helpful and customer service oriented.

Its amazing what a difference that makes. Well we have our boarding passes and tickets and all our changes are completed by Delta Airlines.. All and it's only 3:21, 15 min aft walking in to the airport. GREAT AIRLINE..

more from Seattle shortly or should I say Atlanta...

Stay tuned
