Oregon Garden Resort Silverton

After leaving Vancouver on Tuesday, we caught a bus to Seattle. This is where we picked up our hire car for our two week trip to LA. We spent one night in Seattle, then drove on to Newberg, which is just out of Portland. We spent one night in Newberg and the next ...

We reluctantly fold up the camper although the old thing has thick canvas instead of the newer lightweight nylon fabric and it is really quite damp. We follow the coast until the Oregon border where the mighty Columbia River meets the ocean and cross a magnificent bridge to Astoria, and then another bridge westward and we are ...

No, we haven't been eaten by Sasquatch. We've spent the last month in Salem, Oregon, house sitting for friends and enjoying the ease of modern comforts while stopping to rest and work on music and writing for a while. Friends, Kristin and Charles, generously opened their home and lives to us. Talented artists, being around them helped me feel that realization of my own aspirations is possible. I busked for the first time here. While my ...

... videos and listening to the boys reminisce about some more calls. On Tuesday Winny had to go to work so for the first time we took ourselves around solo. We hung out down at Fishermans wharf and had clam chowder bread bowls. We went super tourist and caught the tram through town and then accidently left the pride lands and got a little bit lost in the ...

... bed when it becomes painfully clear the dream will not return. I pack up my things, take a shower, and clean up the room in preparation for departure. The parents are off at work and Hannah says her goodbyes before taking off for her own place of employment. Justin and I decide to take off a little early so we can stop by the aviation college where his mom is helping cater so we can say goodbye and ...

My fiance, Dominic and I have been biding our time here for the past few months, working our same monotonous jobs, spending QT with our frineds and family, enjoying ...

... going to be alone again...while we might decide to stick it out through these few months and "see" what happens....I am nonetheless going to be alone. The heartache has attacked my appetite these days. I try to push down meals he cooks for me, but my gut screams out in retribution...the anxiety eating away at it's lining. Barcelona awaits me, whether I like it or not, the tickets have been purchased...soon bags ...

... stuff in her big hiking back and the red duffle that I brought my pack in. Oh, and her beat-to-hell Jansport daypack that she's been using for 2 years I think. I'm checking the 2 chinese suitcases that our blankets came in. We're stashing a bunch of our souveniers in all the nooks and crannies in and around the blankets. I get to work on that while Rebecca does all of her morning stuff. Then what is left is a pile of my clothes and my hiking pack. The phone rings... It's been an ...

... that into account when they assigned the crew. I'm not super stoked to find out I'm going to be flying with a weary crew either. Geez, I'm so irritable right now! I'm uncomfortable in these tight, leather pants and my braid keeps getting tangled in my necklace. I'm ****** about the acne in my skin and I hate the condition of my toenails right now. AND I'm starting to get hungry. I wish I could block out the annoying cell phone conversations taking place ...
