Portand

I took off to Portland for a couple of days for work. I was travelling with a co-worker - someone I hadn't travelled with before. But, she was wonderful to travel with. We were on the same wavelength the whole trip and although we worked a lot, we had a lot of fun too. Some of the highlights:
- Got up at 4:00am to drive myself to the airport. For some reason, hubby has decided these early morning flights aren't worth it to drive me anymore. I can't really blame him, but that didn't stop me from giving him the guilt trip every chance I could.
- We rented a car - with no ignition switch. It had a button instead. And a dial to move from Park to Drive. It was just weird.
- Backup cameras are a good thing
- My co-worked in the Portland area is completely stressed out. I'm worried about him
- We went to a Hawaiian restaurant for dinner, and the food was excellent! So were the Mai Tais!

- Great food the whole trip! Fish n' Chips, Burgers, Challa Bread French Toast - yummmmm!
- Valet parking because self serve parking was full - perfect!
- We managed to drive around without getting lost, despite a GPS that kept telling us to turn at the light, when there were no lights, or turn right, but show an arrow turning left.
It was a good trip - but I'm glad to be home.
