LAX was crowded-everyone rushing to get their baggage checked. The 3 of us were so blur we even queued in the wrong direction! In the end, the security told us that we cant fly the 4 bottles of wine we bought bcz there’s no proper packaging. It’s either we throw away or mail it to our destination – Oregon.
Not willing to pay for the expensive cab fare, we walked and search for the nearest UPS store which is about 1 plus mile away from LAX. It was an experience for us-we had no map, our bags were heavy and we only have an hour b4 the plane takes off.
Luckily, we managed to get the 4 wines mailed to Washington, boarded the plane w/o lunch and we're on our way to Portland!!
Oregon seems to be a completely different place from LA. Just look at wat we saw from the plane- Mt Hood
Portland PDX Airport looked different from LAX too! Floors carpeted, no crowd and the service was warm. We were greeted by SY's aunt and uncle.
We travelled through Freeway 5 -> 99 West ->18 West to Oregon Coast. Washington Coast and Oregon Coast face the Pacific Ocean & are famous for their beaches in the Northwest of US http://nwcoast.com/ . we spent 2.5hours on the road b4 reaching Depoe Bay, where we spent a night at Worldmark http://www.worldmarktheclub.com/resorts/d1/
Night sky was really beautiful but too bad our cameras werent good enuff to capture. Just imagine from our balcony, we could see the Pacific Ocean, hear the waves, enjoy the moonlight and view the Dipper!
