We love traveling. The experience of immersing yourself in another culture, by learning the language, eating the food, meeting the people and creating your own adventures, is something that just cannot be matched any other way, no matter how many books you read or shows you watch. If you have been to any of the cities mentioned in the following crossword, feel free to share stories in your log.
Depending on how much difficulty people have with the puzzle, hints may or may not be added later.

Once you have completed the crossword, convert the letters to numbers (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26) and find the total for each column and row (A through J).
Using the column totals for longitude and the row totals for latitude, determine the cache coordinates by performing the following math:
Latitude = N 47° 47.960 + [4*(A+C+F+G+H+I)-(B+D+E+J)]/1000
Longitude = W 122° 06.484 + [(A+B+D+G)-3*(C+E+F+H+I+J)]/1000
