Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark

Usually I try to avoid hotels in downtown – I always think the overwhelming parking charge is ridiculous but this was an exception as I wanted to see one of the baseball capital in US and the famous Gateway Arch ๐Ÿ™‚ and I used the free night ticket which ended up coming with this nice upgrade views

Alaska 246: Seattle to St. Louis

Now having a highschooler who learns various things means we have to send him to other states for multiple week long summer camp – Now I look back and even smile on the old days I was complaining to have “expensive” local summer camp when these kids were in elementary or so…

This year for my #2, it is 4 weeks in Midwest (and he needs to go to LA after this ๐Ÿ™‚ ) so I had to resume the duty of transporting the kid to out of town ๐Ÿ™‚ and due to conflicting schedule we decided to fly out to St. Louis on Friday afternoon.

Rather than getting ripped off at airport with hyper inflation impacted foods, we also tested Alaska’s in-flight meal (as this one is long haul – they graciously “sell” the meal with pre-order only:) ) which were Penang curry and Korean beef burger ๐Ÿ™‚
