Let the adventures begin.

In a few short hours, a silver bird will take off from Portland, OR with two middle-aged men from the Upper Hood River Valley on board. One will be staid and collected. He will have the look of an experienced world traveler. He will calm the other passengers with his confident tones.

The other, however will be a basket-case. He will alternate back and forth from giggling with glee to snorting in anticipation. He will have the look of a semi-crazed geezer. He will not have a calming effect on his fellow passengers.

The plane’s destination is Schiphol Airport, between Amsterdam and Den Haag. It will be the beginning of a great holiday.

The sales office couldn't figure out which was which?! I, of course, could figure out right away which was you, Mac!

Oh Mac, how exciting, I bet you are just besides yourself. Do travel well, please don't freak out the other passengers too bad, and please lets get together when you get back. Love you. Lady Di
