Well, whatever Kal said, I agree. He is my friend and I find him quite agreeable himself.
beachbum,

sumreknot, travel guide books are a good idea. You can get an idea of what really interests you..do some research, you get better advice when you have more of your own ideas.
And please, we are all grown-ups, you can keep your tent where it is..

I think I'm offended. ;-) Well, at least I put you to sleep.

Give it a rest folks. Fuss at me, if you need to fuss, but leave her be. You're bigger than this.

what's the "opera" kal? if you don't say, I'll tell Kauai immigration not to let you in next time! (and you really have to give up your Kauai addiction and visit the Big Island!)

BayouGal, huh?? Who's fussing? I think something was Lost in Translation. Must be the time difference.

The opera reference is an inside joke to some of us left coasters. Something about a California poster who thinks ***she's*** really an Oregonian.

Actually it does not fit if you read any of my posts here or there. Sorry, I must have missed where you contributed to helping this retired lady with her Oregon trip?

I thought this might be tongue in cheek, until...

"if the shoe fits scarlett..."

Now, that's the aloha spirit, matnikstym.

S-knot:
here's what I would do.
Go straight to Ashland, you can make it in 5 hours.
Stop at Novak's in Albany for some Pastry and Hungarian Food. See a Play at Shakespeare, eat and drink our wine, cheese and fruits, and tour Crater Lake. Head 199 to the top of the Redwoods, then start North on 101.
If you stay in Bandon, Yachats, or Cannon Beach you'd get a lotta' coast. I like Astoria myself.
Then back to Portland for the remainder of your time.

...then stay in Portland your first and last days.
Head south bright and early the 2nd day. Novak's would be even better! http://novaks-hungarianrestaurant.com/

b'boy,

I may come up there just to eat at Novaks. ***yummy***!
Fine line between Polish and Hungarian grubski and I've crossed that border many times.

mat,
Quit pickin' on my Oregonian buddies.
I guess the offer to visit Da BI is rescinded?

Scarlett,
Are those the same shoes PamSF and ronkala wear? :-?

No Kal, my shoes obviously have very pointy toes that curl up when houses fall on me

Can't we all just get along?? O

Sumreknot - where is Trenton? I've heard of it, but have no idea where it is.

Have a great trip!

Good to see we didn't scare you away completely, sumreknot, but it's not clear that you're still looking for help. Are you? We're more responsive if we have questions to answer.
