Business Trip to Portland

Just got back home late last night - 12:45 am when I got home. It was a long flight.I waited for 2 hours in Seattle for the connection and loved my time there. Seattle has a very nice airport. I went to this small bar type of the restaurant and ordered samples of three red wine and 2 small-bite food. I loved sitting there, sipping the wine, eating the food and watching people walking by.Went the gate and did some plane watching which is also fun.Out flight has 18 passengers. The flight attendant announced that we can sit anywhere we want but we can't all sit at the front because the plane needs to be balanced. I wonder if the system does some sort of balance when assigning seat automatically to spread the people in the plane. They did not do boarding by rows either because the small number of passengers.On the plane, I had the most disgusting herb tea ever. I wanted a hot beverage without caffeine and herb tea was the only option. I tried really hard to drink it but ended up spitting it out back to the cup. Sorry.
