Hampton Inn Stes Boise Dwtn

I'm going to start with Boise, Idaho even though I'm living in Ontario, Oregon. It's the closest that the www.travelpod.com FB application has to my home.<br><br>Anyway, I felt I needed to keep a travel log of where I will be going, what I will be doing so that friends and family will be able to keep up ...

I was so excited when my parents and I "discovered" the Sandcastle Motel in Lincoln City a few years ago. Since then we have gone down at least twice a year and had great experiences in the kitchenettes that are very reasonably priced (but without a balcony). Just returned this year and was very disappointed this stay. We were in a two queen room ...

... deal and the food was excellent. After dinner, we went to the Boise State Bowling Alley where we played two games. The first game Mark won with 100 and something points, while I lost miserably, barely making it over 50. The next game, after Jenna gave me the hint to look at the arrows on the ground instead of the pins, I won with 145 points! We then headed back to Jenna and Mark&#8217;s apartment and went to sleep. Janis&#8217; and my air ...

... and driving through northwestern Oregon and on into our stop in Idaho it was dry and brown then for a mile or so there were tree farms, green crops and of course an occasional golf course. Through Wyoming, Montana and Washington I have never seen so much hay grown and rolled, cows and horses. One thing we found was the beef was inexpensive here! We have also been lucky in the campgrounds&#8230;all have been nicely maintained and we ...

das eine freibad direkt an der strassenkreuzung lud nicht wirklich zum schwimmen ein, der fluss mit starker strömung nach einem kraftwerk hingegen schon und selbst dieser war wärmer als der crater lake...<br><br>boise macht einen ziemlich verschlafenen eindruck aber ich dachte, wenn ich schon mal in der gegen bin, muss ich einfach bei HP vorbeischauen ...

Our friends the Blickenstaffs took us to the airport (thanks guys) made it out of Boise alive, don&#8217;t know yet what we forgot. Flight on United to Chicago was average. HOWEVER. Flight on Lufrtansa Air to Frankfurt was like going back to old-style commercial flight with current technology. First glimpse of all that orderliness and practicality. Actual dinner ...

... br><br>We pulled into our hotel in Boise and immediately rushed out to catch a late night showing of &#8220;Harry Pottter.&#8221; We had mixed feelings about the latest installment but it was fun to see a movie in a different city. The pre-movie entertainment had a certain homespun feel complete with jokes. Here&#8217;s one of Joe&#8217;s new favorites. What type of mosquito lives in the north pole? Cold ones&#8230;<br><br>Glad to leave Boise ASAP.

... for comments about some crazy girl with no coat on. Anyway I head out for my trek out to Idaho. This long drive on route 20 East took about 8hrs to get from Bend to Boise. This is of course with frequent shi shi breaks since my bladder can be compared to a peanut. The drive was very long and flat. I did get to see some Llamas though! Very random. I was getting so tired..... finally reached Idaho.... Wahooo!!!! 75mph speed limit ...

Tuesday August 22, on the road again this time heading east. As we were leaving Oregon we took a scenic road that parallels the highway and stumbled upon the most beautiful waterfalls. As I write this I can't remember the name of the area but I'll add that info later. Anyway there's a big visitor's center with a restaurant so we stopped for pictures and breakfast. It turns out this is the most visited tourist attraction in the entire ...
