Greetings from Portland, Oregon. Weather here is atypically beautiful, flight here from St. George UT uneventful. TSA in St. George fully operational w/o aid of ICE, essentially zero wait time.
We overnight in an Embassy Suites and head out tomorrow a.m. early. We will begin with a visit to Multnomah Falls, followed by boarding our river boat, arriving in time for lunch. If we can post pix, they will appear at the other DrC’s blog.
Tomorrow afternoon we cruise west toward the coast, destination Astoria. That is a stretch of the Columbia I have not seen. Anticipation for an enjoyable week aboard is widely shared by pax we met at tonight’s cocktail party.
