One more shot I took from our recent trip to Portland....We had a great time but it was a whirlwind of a trip. Next time, we definitely ought to splurge for the direct flight because the stop-over in Dallas, TX was a bitch. Plus, the 3.5 hours from NYC to Dallas and additional 3.5 from Dallas to Portland just wasn't cutting it. On top of it all, American Airlines has got to be one of the cheapest airlines around (and I don't mean they've got low fares). They didn't provide any snack on either leg of our journey from the East Coast to the West Coast. They are gracious enough to sell passengers a four dollar snack pack complete with cheese spread, mixed nuts and a magical beef stick. Wait, say what?! Yes, the stewardess said "magical beef stick" and yes, like a complete juvenile, I couldn't help but chuckle at that. I have to admit, I don't think it's called a "magical beef stick", at least according to the official American Airlines website. Perhaps, the stewardess had something else in mind. Yowsers.
We had great weather and enjoyed catching up with family as we attended the wedding - good food, music and vibe as we went down the Willamette River. All in all, Portland is nice - clean, good restaurants, shops, and laid back. Too bad I heard that they have high levels of unemployment. Seems like a nice to play to live....
