To be fair she’s not really here for me or the city lol — her friend she’s traveling with has a brother who lives out there

Ahhh I guess a long drive is a long drive (and it’s a long drive from my house lol)

💯 💯 💯

Speaking of Hong Kong, my aunt is visiting from there but she’s staying in Sherwood which honestly might as well be Hong Kong given how far away it is from here — 27 miles!!! Which is long haul when it comes to Portland!

Like honestly Sherwood is practically a clearing in a forest afaik.

😅😅😅

Right!!! Well, good luck to them lol (I’m sure they’ll be fine but also, 😳😳😳)

😂😂😂😂😂 ok phew!!!! 😅

They’re also going to Hong Kong and didn’t know what dim sum was so, as much as it pained me, I explained it as, “it’s like Chinese tapas”

😂😫 I didn’t know what else to say lmfao oh I’m sorry my people, I’m sorry!

“We were told the hotel concierge can just set you up with what to do but thanks for the tips!” (They meant it, despite how it might read as sarcastic online lol — I think I got them really excited with my pictures and videos lol)

Bless these people who are going on an Asia cruise who happened to let spill they were going to Singapore and wanted recommendations for post-cruise but also did no research lol.

“Gardens by the Bay, was it?” “It’s called *Sentosa*?” “Hawker what?”

Yeah it’s not horrible — definitely better without the temporary bypass now!

Looking forward to welcoming you back to our fair city!

It sure was! Unfortunately the exit is still the maze looping around security for another couple months, I’ll be super happy when the direct escalator down to baggage claim opens.

Very excited for my friends at Portland Gear whose tiny booth (basically) I used to block where I used to sit and they now have a real store! With lots of products!

(Not an ad, just people I’ve gotten to know over the 1.5 years+ since this part opened)

I appreciate that folks will come up to me (I’m working at the airport) and speak Spanish and I’m able to help them out with my limited vocabulary. (At least I understood this lady wanted to know how to exit to the street.)

Anyways here’s a better view of the new opening to E from my new spot.

i just took one :D -- i hope you can sneak one in too!

Hahaha no I hear ya! She played flute/piccolo

yeah i know clara (remember her?) is going; she's semi helping to organize it and was the first to reach out to me about it -- if i just got an email from one of the popular kids (like the ones that are coming in) i prob would have ignored lol

Lolol fancy!! They did say it will be in LC somewhere (TBD). Ugh I hope it won’t be fancy. I hate dressing up.

Also, do you know how expensive hotels are over Memorial Day weekend?!

I’m not sure why they are making such a big deal about this (like, purposely scheduling something for 31 lol). Would have been perfectly happy to see pictures and updates online.

they sent a list of 100ish people (out of a class of 268) they don't have info for and i hope they can get in touch with these folks and they go, because they're some of the more interesting people.

am i also horrible in that i'm curious to see if there is a "popular kid" equivalent to twink death?

i've semi-committed to going to my high school 31 year reunion (i don't know what happened but i'm not sure if the 25 happened and i guess 30 fell through so they're doing a 31? idk lol)

like, i really loved HS only because the nerd clique i was in was awesome. no big desire to see everyone else.

*snort* ngl I was wondering the same lol

No more DE bypass! (I think this opened last Thursday—was kind of hoping it would be a bit longer so I could work opening day but it’s cool to go through as a passenger so soon after opening.)

Oh nice!!

Zoom zoom!

It was a lovely day to fly out of SFO.

Ugh I hope I did the referral right. It didn’t seem to load it correctly but I hope I fixed it.

Oooh I am lucky, thanks!

Oh I’ll have to check that out. I’ve been using GasBuddy or GMaps but yeah luckily we don’t get gas too often.
