It's difficult to travel by myself all day - first a two hour bus ride to the airport (Michigan Flyer, very nice), then the plane ride, then SeaTac's slow baggage claim, then back up to the parking lot, then the half mile trudge to the Light Rail, then the woman asking me for money (I knew she was lying but I gave her money to get rid of her), then the ONE HOUR ride which would be 25 minutes by car, with the final touch being pee on the elevator. It's exhausting. It was faster taking the 194/41 bus combo, and it also felt safer.
