If anyone is traveling west, in my opionion you should stop in Seattle. General prices are high, rooms, meals, etc. but the value for the money spent on this hobby is very high.  For $250-300 you can get top shelf - and I mean the upper 5%.  Two people to call - agency called Elliot Bay, very reputable and Seattle Impressions who hooked me up with a wonderful gal who is now on my all time #1 list - Kiara.  Anyway, worth spending an extra night there.  RR
