Visiting Portland Area?
 

Hey Allen,
If you get to the Portland area, I would love to meet you.

Hi Stephen!!

Im not sure how far north we are gonna get, but I did hear some talk of Hood river area. I think that gets up around your neck of the woods.

I am bringing a laptop, if we are goin up there I will send ya a message on the myspace and a pm here. Im gonna try to get the inlaws to go up there and get us all a room so they can go somewhere they dont usually go.

I went out and found a minivan this afternoon, and bought it cash.

:yahoo:Man that felt good LOL.

It is a 2000 sienna, fully loaded with leather, moon roof, power doors, 6 cd changer. Only has 55k miles on it. Wont get to enjoy it too much until we get back.

The judge tossed me out of jury duty because I have a sister that is in MADD. I wanted to tell them I belonged to DAMM.....drunks against mad mothers, but thought joking around was out :ROTFLMAO:.

Cant wait to get on that train!

Toot Toot!!!

Made it to Oregon!
 

The train is grrrreat!!! All the employees were exceptionally curteous and helpful. The area we were assigned to on the way here was very nice and clean, and extra roomy.

I highly recommend train travel for the disabled. We brought our own snacks and drinks, but the staff was there for anything we could ever want or need. The transfer went without a hitch with the staf directing us to where we needed to be. The first train we were on had a lift the put me on board, and the second one had a ramp that I drove right up and into the train.

So far am totally enjoying Oregon to the max.....especially the no sales tax part LOL. Will be back in a few days with more.

Hope everyones pain is managable to non existent.

:grouphug:

Allen,
Sounds like you are having a really good time. Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!

Love ya,

Well we are almost to the end of our trip, and I never made it past Crater Lake going north. I am having a great time, and decided to post up some pics.

The train is a blast and here is some pics of it pulling in, the wheelchair lift, and our seats. Plus threw in some pics of Crater Lake for all to enjoy.

Will be posting up some more info about the ride back in a few days.

Toot Toot!!
