Arrival and Hook-up

Susan and Sharon accidently found each other at the Portland airport on Saturday when Sharon saw someone with a big red suitcase at the Marriott pick-up point. As it turned out, it was Susan, and a friendship was formed. We were also delighted to have Carrie, Art's and Sherry's daughter, join us from Seattle (along with her little pup Frankie) for the afternoon and evening before she headed back to Seattle.

Having some light refreshments in the bar enabled us to chat with some other folks who had just finished bike trips with the same company-- one had 13 trips -- so we had good recommendations going into the trip. Susan and Kitty assembled their Bike Fridays with few problems other than k's chain was broken. After being reassured the tour leader had the right tool to fix it, she headed to bar.
