So we are in Portland now. Have not seen Ashleigh yet but are planning on having dinner together tonight. I am pretty sure we were one of the last flights out of Denver yesterday. After sitting on the runway for over an hour and watching the horizontal snow blowing by the window and the 3/4 " ice build up on the wing I was wishing I were anyplace else. Once in the air the flight was uneventful and we arrived in Portland only 90 minutes late. Since Jim's luggage stayed in Denver and mine apparently never left Detroit we jumped on the TriMet light rail and zoomed to within 5 blocks of the hotel.
We love the light rail. It is so nice. This morning we did the very redneck thing and rode to the end of the line just to see what we could see. We were actually headed to the Japanese Garden but it started to rain and we thought the garden would be farther along late next week and so changed course. I wish we had a reliable mass transit in our area.
Ashleigh did not mince any words when she said it was gray in Portland. At any time it looks like rain. But the flowers are blooming and the grass is really green. AND there is no snow in the forecast this weekend like I see on the Manchester weather so we must be in the right spot!!!
Oh yes, and our luggage arrived so we have clean clothes and deoderant.
