Back in the Saddle

The air is crisper, days shorter, and my birth date is bearing down.  Time to get back to planning.  I will work on some surveys, tools, gadgets and other participatory prompts.  In the meantime, send thought or research-provoking comments.  I am looking for friends in Portland, family in British Columbia, that great Bed & Breakfast, a hidden island, themes, goals, cost-saving tips, all of the above.  Probably need a Sarah Palin reference now in here somewhere.  

Wow, how things change in a few months.   

I still don't have travel dates.  I am inclined to actually travel in summer when this destination will be a tad warmer, but my birthday is in January so I won't rule that month out, although my budget might.  

Let the games begin again.

The summer would have much better weather for traveling if you plan to be outside at all. The NW is actually quite sunny in the summer. The famous rain comes from October to April.

Don't be afraid to get away from the coast. The earth does not rotate around Portland nor Seattle. Bend is a great town to visit (mmm, beer!), and there are plenty of other smaller towns with unique destinations. You'll probably find one of those B&B's in a small town. Try:
