Those overnight flights are brutal, to the body, mind and sole...Add the 9 hour difference in time and we almost arrived home before we left Prague...(that is my take anyway)...We left Prague on Thursday, about 2pm, a 3 hour flight to Iceland, a 50 minute layover (just enough time to get through the airport, and take a shuttle to the plane), then 8 hours to Portland...We did luck out with a plane only about 60% full so we were able to spread out a bit...Only bad thing was a passenger right behind us, who coughed, sneezed, and blue his nose all night long...If we don't come down with some dreaded disease, I will always wonder why!!!
We landed at PDX about 6pm, had a motel booked for the night, woke up at 3am...Our flight on Boutique air didn't leave until 8am, so we showered, took the shuttle to PDX, had breakfast and did a little touring around the newly remodeled airport.
We enjoyed our flights, going and coming on Boutique Air, a nice way to get to Pendleton from Portland...Tickets are relatively inexpensive and the parking is free...It is an 8 passenger + pilot & copilot, plane, very tight quarters, but only a 1 hour flight...A small airport, a very nice facility.
We opted for the freeway to LaGrande, so we could stop at Grocery Outlet, even though we much prefer driving over tollgate...We don't like the freeway even in the summer!
We were home by mid afternoon, our garden had been well tended by neighbors and friends...We had a fresh veggie dinner of cucumbers, tomatoes, snap peas, carrots, onions, new potatoes (smothered in butter) and homemade bread from the freezer...It was a wonderful trip and also wonderful to be home...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
Our last dinner in Prague
Seafood noodles in a wonderful broth.
Our parting shot at the Prague airport.
It was hard to leave Cienna.
Newly remodeled PDX, did I read somewhere
that some of the ceiling beams,
came from
JZ's Lumber???
Boutique Air, sun was so bright,
they covered windshield
with sunscreens.
Our veggie dinner on the deck.
Up bright and early on Friday
to work in garden, pick cucumbers
and make a few jars of hot dills!
