Hello Vi,
Thanks for your input and your offer to check out the properties. I am excited to hear that Long Bay is your favorite area and it's just as beautiful as the pictures When will you be back in Portland? I plan to send you a PM sometime later today.
I also have to thank you for your lovely trip reports! I am looking forward the the continuation of the one your currently writing. Your descriptions, stories and photos have definitely been the key to making me want to explore Portland and I can't wait! If I can only get through this upcoming winter and the next 4 months...
