Flight Home

We were up and out of our AirBnB by 6 am. We left Nathan there. He was staying for 2 more days, but he shifted to Sharon and Michael's place. We returned the car and got to our gate in plenty of time. The flight was supposed to leave a few minutes early, but that didn't happen. We left about 10 minutes late.

It was an uneventful flight home.  We arrived pretty much on time in Portland.  The Park N Fly shuttle was waiting for us.  It was nice to be dropped off right at our vehicle.

We pulled into our driveway a little before 11 am.  I had time to head out on a walk before lunch.  I was to meet Bob & Suzanne (friends from our Rick Steves Alpine tour group) at 1 pm to go to the Japanese Gardens.  As I was walking, I got a text from Suzanne asking if we could meet at 12 pm instead because they were predicting rain later.  I turned around and scurried home so that I could make a quick lunch.  They pulled up just at noon. I decided to include this on my trip home blog because the Japanese Gardens were so amazing.

Mount Hood is directly behind the tall building.  Just can't see it.

The colors were amazing.

What a day.  We are safely home.
