unfortunately david was not able to join us for our trip to oregon, so the kids and i headed out on our own. we were suppose to fly from santa barbara to san francisco to portland. we were walking on to the plane when the pilot came out and turned us around... there was a maintenance problem, and they weren't sure how long it was going to take. we only had about an hour layover in san fran before we caught our flight to portland. i KNEW we weren't going to make it and this was the start of a long adventure. we made it to san fran, but didn't have a flight until the next morning. they gave us hotel and food vouchers, but there was a flight that same night to portland they told us we could try and fly standby on. it wasn't until ten that night. i told myself i'd play it by ear and see how the kids were. they were such troopers, i decided to give it a try. we didn't get on. so we headed to customer picked up our vouchers and headed to the hotel for the night. we didn't get to bed until 12:30. our flight in the am was 11:30. so we slept in a bit used our food vouchers for breakfast and headed to the airport. we got on our flight and made it into portland on time. picked up our rental car and made our way to salem . all in all the trip took a little over 24 hours. it was suppose to be a 5 hour trip. thank you miles and maisy for being sooo good and going with the flow. you are great little travellers.
