Lol. All this hiking and stuff sounds fantastically adventurous. I, however, will be traveling with a just barely four year old and a one year old, so adventures in icy cold water will have to wait.
I think that we are now going to do Monday-Thursday in Portland (with one of those days on the coast), Friday through Monday with conference stuff, Tuesday flying home (or at the Kennedy School if our flight is late enough). I definitely want to do the Portland zoo. I want to try and find a good Indi band playing during the week that I can sneak off and see.
I'm a little intimidated by the weather. The high for when we're going is mid 60's. That's dead of winter here practically. I hope I can find warm clothes on sale then.
For a Portland hotel we might try our luck with Priceline for the downtown area. I want to make sure it's close to public transportation.
