I have two full free days - Sunday 3rd November and Saturday 9th November. Anyone available for meetup?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-conference/page/2#post-2040062 Thu, 04 Jul 2019 13:56:52 +0000 Janet 2040062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How exciting! I LOVE Seattle. I hope you get to do a meetup with some of the area Fabbers. I planned a trip to the Pacific Northwest around a few days in Seattle and had the best time. </p> <p>If you can, give yourself at least one full day to spend in the city before the conference. I am a big fan of building in some travel buffer/down time before events just in case a flight connection is missed or some other glitch happens. If all goes well, you still get an extra day to recover from travel and relax or explore. </p> <p>As for jet lag, get yourself on local time as soon as you can. Force yourself to sleep and eat at the local time so your body adapts. It really does help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-conference/page/2#post-2039499 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 04:05:32 +0000 annagybe 2039499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hooray!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-conference/page/2#post-2039389 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 19:05:10 +0000 Carla 2039389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great news, Anchie!

Living in one of the most isolated cities in the world, I am very familiar with long haul flights. My tip to minimising jet lag is to eat meals and stay awake until the new local time as soon as possible. You need to reset your body clock. I always drink a lot of water on flights too as the air on planes dehydrates you and dehydration makes you feel even worse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-conference#post-2024397 Sat, 04 May 2019 03:41:28 +0000 Jenn 2024397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weirdly, November is my favorite time in Seattle. It’s when the city feels most Seattle-y. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-conference#post-2023557 Wed, 01 May 2019 02:05:38 +0000 rebekahphoto 2023557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Rachylou reminded me of the best tips!&nbsp;</p> <p>Take a photo on your phone of your passport. I also keep a printed copy of travel doc and a copy in my email. I suppose its overkill, but I always feel safe in case there is a tech issue. On my last trip overseas we found our phones super useful--take a photo of your hotel, the metro stop, maps on the street. easy to reference later. You can also download city guides ahead of time</p> <p>Seattle airport is pretty easy and customs is straight forward. The airport to downtown Seattle is an uber, around $40. There is also a Link Light Rail train that is very easy and direct. $3.25. your hotel will also most likely have a shuttle you can arrange to pick you up in a group van--especially since there will be other conference travelers, might even meet some interesting new people! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-conference#post-2023475 Tue, 30 Apr 2019 21:01:41 +0000 annagybe 2023475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On a more practical note, I’d recommend power plug converters with USB ports. Handy for charging your devices </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-conference#post-2023364 Tue, 30 Apr 2019 14:02:53 +0000 anchie 2023364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tips ladies, keep them coming. It is greatly appreciated. I have submitted everything that was requested from me to the sponsors, now it is waiting game. No idea when will I hear back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-conference#post-2022999 Sun, 28 Apr 2019 16:57:03 +0000 rachylou 2022999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How exciting or potentially exciting I was gonna say in this modern era, I travel with passport, birth certificate, vaccination record, and prescriptions... and that does take awhile to sort. Last time I renewed my passport, I had to pay the big bucks for a rush renewal because I was not prepared... it wasn’t expired, but it didn’t have enough time on it left either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-conference#post-2022978 Sun, 28 Apr 2019 13:43:53 +0000 Anonymous 2022978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with rebekaphoto, expect jet lag when you get home The time difference will be the biggest challenge. You'll be up and ready to go in the mornings at probably 2am Seattle time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-conference#post-2022859 Sat, 27 Apr 2019 18:50:11 +0000 Gretchen 2022859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super exciting! Agree with the other commenters - come in early. Regardless of which direction I travel, jet lag usually catches me on Day 2. Fortunately since Seattle is a super walkable city, you'll be able to get outside and acclimate quickly.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, I don't typically like to stay more than 1 day past the end of a conference. I don't want to feel rushed to get to the airport, but by the end of a travel week, I've seen enough people and done enough things and need down time. Better to sightsee at the beginning of the trip when I'm more energetic.&nbsp;</p> <p>So glad you are given this opportunity!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-conference#post-2022742 Sat, 27 Apr 2019 10:24:12 +0000 Bennett 2022742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keeping fingers crossed for such an exciting trip to happen for you! What a perk to be in Angie's city! No need to apologize for or even feel clueless - you've never been to the US before! So many kind people to answer questions on this site.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-conference#post-2022696 Sat, 27 Apr 2019 03:55:29 +0000 Barbara Diane 2022696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How exciting! You’ll want some small bills to tip with-for the housekeeper who makes up your room, and if you have someone bring your suitcase to the room, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-conference#post-2022656 Sat, 27 Apr 2019 00:33:25 +0000 rebekahphoto 2022656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>how exciting! it would be fun to have a meet up--this nov so far looks good for me, (the last few meet-ups I have been out of town or busy!)</p> <p>Agreeing with Angie, Seattle is very walkable. And will most likely be rainy/grey in Nov. you never know, we do sometimes get sunny breaks!<br />I would try to come a day before your conference starts, I find that coming east is easier to adjust than when I fly west to Europe. But it a good 9 hours flight+ depending on your connections. KLM has great non-stop flights to Amsterdam&nbsp;</p> <p>My family from Denmark always does lots of shopping here as the prices are much better than at home for them. So perhaps saving on the hotel would be good for your closet Wifi is everywhere. standard tip for food service is 20%, a few restaurants will add the tip into the bill, so you just have to check for that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-conference#post-2022632 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 21:38:49 +0000 Sal 2022632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope it pans out Anchie!! I will chime in later with my travel advice as getting anywhere from NZ involves long flights!!</p> <p>How exciting:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-conference#post-2022622 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 20:24:50 +0000 anchie 2022622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jane -Can you imagine how excited I am!

That is maybe a secret to your slim figure ;)<br /> I will for sure have more questions about what to pack when time comes<br /> and will keep in mind that I will need very comfy flat shoes. </p>
