Travel Project First Quarter 2025
Travel: The journey to and from my destination was relatively uneventful. However, I did encounter a minor issue during security check for a phone holder that triggered suspicion of being a potential weapon. Additionally, I was randomly selected to go through the x-ray machine, adding to the already eventful start of this project. Cuisine: While the food options were not outstanding, the pho I had on a damp and cold day 1 was decent. In contrast, the sandwich I had for lunch on day 2 in Oregon was quite good. On day 4, I had a satisfactory stir fry dish for lunch. The rest of the meals were not worth mentioning. Car Rental: The surrounding scenery of rugged terrain made for an interesting but slow drive. Due to the winter conditions, I was advised to only drive an AWD vehicle, a Nissan Rogue. Accommodation: The hotel was pleasant and tidy. The room didn’t have a desk so I had to improvised. However, it would have been nearly perfect if the room had a microwave and refrigerator.
