We did not get back to Bekah’s apartment until close to 3:30 AM. All of us got up around 8:30 AM, enjoyed some good bagels and coffee and exchanged some gifts we had gotten for each other in our travels. Just 12 hours after leaving JFK, we found ourselves back in the car headed to Newark Airport. The trip to the airport was peaceful. What a relief to not have to drive back through New York. This trip was turning out to be pretty normal. The flight was on time. So, we were on our way for our first trip to the west coast. It was disappointing to have so little time with Bekah, but we would see her again in a few weeks. Everything about this flight was so different than the flight from Guyana. There was a nice meal, a movie and the flight attendants were so helpful. This was our first time flying so far west and it was awesome to see the Rockies. Imagine our surprise to see a very distinct mountain peak sticking up through the clouds - Mount Hood. (There is a picture of it on the previous blog.) How inspiring! There were other visible, well known peaks on the other side of us: Mount Ranier and Mount St. Helens. The beautiful views made us forget the frustrations of the previous travels. Here we come, Portland! Hopefully, those traveling travesties are behind us now. We are moving on... (Did you like our "Jeep for a day" and relaxed look Joe has - that's Oregon for ya!!!)
