Stay – Hood River to Leavenworth USA
They say some places are hard to leave. That’s certainly the case with Hood River this morning, not because we don’t want to go, it just won’t let us out.
Take your pick – Oregon USA
There are two highways between Portland and Hood River. Sometimes they are the same road, sometimes they diverge by about a hundred metres. I-84 is a freeway. Highway 30 is not. Take Highway 30.
Boom boom – Oregon USA
I heard today that there is a rare type of fly that lays its eggs on the surface of Crater Lake. The eggs sink all the way to the bottom of the lake where they hatch….Do the fly larvae ever think “hey, it’s pretty cool down here at eighteen hundred feet, why bother going any higher?”
If I were like that – Oregon
I’ve heard that all some people write about in their travel stories is the food. Well, we’re not like that. If we were, I would probably open with the story of the great meal we had last night at the Black Trumpet Restaurant in Brookings Oregon
Disconnected – Brookings Oregon
We’re really enjoying our mini version of the great American road trip. Part of the thrill is we literally don’t know what’s around the next bend.
Now you see me – South Beach Oregon
One of the joys of staying in B&Bs is that you never know what to expect.
No pain, no gain – Olympia WA USA
One of my readers cruelly suggested that my last story may not have been 100% truthful. I’m aghast! Ok, so a couple of details could have been slightly stretched
Heading Home – Part 2 – LAX
We must have been starved for good songs back in the early 70’s. I remember, like many others, singing along to “♪L A International Airport – where the big jet engines roar ♪..”. It always sounded so glamorous, all that stuff about silver wings and friendly skies. Well, the good news is that LAX is much the same today as it was when the song took the world by storm in 1971. The bad news is – well – the same as the good news.
Let’s Go Back Eh? – Seattle
It’s a beautiful grey morning in Seattle. Our guide Gentry told us yesterday that Seattle has more than 200 overcast days each year. Today is no exception.
The Eye of the Needle – Seattle
Unlike the Eiffel Tower, the Space Needle in Seattle can’t be seen from every hotel balcony.
