chris_gerribI have booked my trip to Worldcon and beyond. This year's Worldcon is Seattle Worldcon 2025 and will be held in (surprise) Seattle Washington from August 13-17. From there I will be going via ferry to Victoria Canada for a couple of days, thence flying back to the US.
Hotels in Seattle, at least those sponsored by the con, are very pricy. This is in part because we'll be in the height of the Alaska cruise season. I ended up biting the bullet and booking a room at the con's main hotel, and bit another bullet in that I did not get the cheapest room, which had 2 double beds. I'll save those rooms for people who are getting roommates.
I'm taking a passenger ferry to Victoria, which is a 3-hour trip. (And yes, I did hear the Gilligan's Island theme song in my head when I typed that.) From there, a short flight to Vancouver and then United direct to O'Hare. Since everything is fully refundable if I cancel within 48 hours, I think I'm skipping travel insurance on this.
I'm looking forward to this vacation.
