Friday I left Key West around 4:30pm. This was the plane I took to Fort Myers.
I got to sit next to the pilot.
The views were amazing.
After a quick connection in Houston, I arrived into Portland around 11pm and after being picked up, was immediately dropped off to join Chelsea's bachelorette party.
They had already completed three events and were now salsa dancing and doing karaoke.
I closed out the night with Billy Joel's Piano Man and Monica and I went back to her house and everyone crashed.
Saturday morning I was supposed to be at the dressmaker's house at 9am, and once Monica and I made a quick trip to Starbucks and wandered around the long way, we arrived. The dress fit fine, and she measured the hem.
Then we proceeded with the days' events - church, lunch, a wedding in Salem. Through the course of the day I managed to down about four times my usual caffeine quota and had no nap. This lead to my anxiety attack Sunday morning around 1:30am that lasted until around 6am... I finally got to sleep around 7:30am and slept until 10am, when I got up and had to go and fetch my bridesmaid dress.
The wedding on Sunday was at Bridal Veil Lakes, a beautiful location a bit outside of Portland up the Columbia Gorge. The wedding theme was 70's...and the guests were also requested to dress in theme.
It was quite a large turnout and the whole afternoon was a riot. I disintegrated into a walking heap of sleep around 6:30pm (the wedding started at 3pm) and Mom and Lou took me back home where I crawled into my bed on the couch and didn't get up until 10am on Monday.
Monday was Monica's birthday, so we started off the day with breakfast with another friend and one of Monica's sisters-in-law at Biscuits Cafe in Clackamas. We enjoyed fabulous omelettes that come with pancakes AND hashbrowns.
After a day of shopping, 30 of us gathered at Claim Jumper in Clackamas to celebrate her birthday, then I went back to Mom's, packed, tried to nap, and was dropped off at the airport at about 11:15pm. I checked in and my flight left just after midnight.
This trip was way too quick. I barely had time to breathe.

What a cool way to fly! Although I think I'd be having an anxiety attack the whole time.
I hardly knew you were here.
Glad you had fun though!

Fun trip, it sounds like. That's a hell of a lot of hash browns.
I swear your pilot is from Fantasy Island!
"Dee plane boss, dee plane!"
Hope your parachute worked better than your poopchute!
