OK,guess I,m up. Having now lived in beautiful Portland for 2 1/2 years without contact with ANY travelers, it is oh, so fine to be here in this crowd of like-minded travelers. (NOT tourists....you know what I,m talking about) So, sorry everyone can't be here...you'd feel so at home. Bought a book about travel stories from a woman's perspective called, "Sand In My Bra." Hopefully I'm going to learn some answers to questions I was always afraid to ask.
Anyway...these [and no doubt you] are my kind of people. Gotta get back on the road! Now, excuse me while I go and refill my glass with some excellent organic Oregon wine! (Cooper Mountain) THANKS SEAN!!!!
