But seriously
Take the Waterway to Weehawken NJ and stay at the Hilton a block from the ferry landing. Local bars and restaurants close by. Also Lincoln Harbor Marina. The NY Waterway will take you across to mid-town Manhattan and next top the Intrepid Air and Space Museum (It's the big aircraft carrier.). Free busses into town from ferry terminal. Also, grab a cab from Weehaken to neighboring Hoboken, Frank Sinatra's hometown.
In Seattle, we get a rack at the Marriott at South Center, a large shopping mall near SeaTac. Rent a car and drive to Boeing Field and see the Boeing Museum. It is awesome!! Pike Place Market - ride the monorail - Ivar's for clams - ride the ferry to Blakely or Bainbridge Islands - lots to do in Seattle. Have fun!!
