Yay!

Yay! I'm home! 'Cept it's messing with my brain that there is still snow. Ah well, it's February in Ontario.

I intended to do this trip on six airplanes (YKF->DTW->MSP->PDX, PDX->SEA->DTW->YKF) not eight (Thursday being YKF->DTW->DTW->DTW->MSP->PDX). But a million times better that they fail two maintenance checks and send us back, than the same plane not fail the maintenance checks. I am getting quite familiar with DTW, since we're going back on Friday (visiting dan's parents and my grandma on Long Island). Oy. Can I not fly for a bit?

But I will definitely go back to Portland some time when I have more than 3 hours to be a tourist. As it was, I stayed at a funky hotel, talked with a couple locals, shopped at Powell's Books, had the best hot chocolate I've ever tried, and swung off with some Quaker friends to our Gathering.

There are photos, un-uploaded. There are notes, un-typed.

And mercifully, I'm starting to get sleepy now, even though my body sort of thinks it's 8:30.

I wonder what time I'll wake up tomorrow. :-P
