Simply Portland...Utterly Devine

[*vi*]

Well, I have not been a member here for very long, am a relative newcomer. I follow Vi trip reports religiously her reports give me a chance to lose myself in all that rich flora of places like Port land as I do not travel much.....when I do come on (which is not very frequent) I do a Vi search Trip report……

I can not type another word about traveling another mile without saying Thank You, Summer, for those truly moving words. While it was bought to my attention that “someone mentioned” me in a thread, I didn’t know what to expect. After reading your post I, of course, cried. You see, I have very strong opinions regarding trip reports and had considered voicing a couple in that thread. But wasn’t sure if it were necessary…I do feel Dash expressed most of thoughts well. However, there was still one or two I considered mentioning. Well your motivating expression made me decide to use that energy to bang out a report instead and at last keep my promise to Ms. Sparkle.

However, it’s because of YOU that other readers are gonna suffer from the amount of words and pictures and stories I plan to cram into it…all just for you.

Hope you enjoy my dear Summer!

Oh Vi you made my evening!! I am so glad I logged on I have been thinking about you wondering if you made another post about Port land. Thank you thank you. I can never get enough of your trip reports with all that beautiful scenery. I can literally lose myself in that country side like now when am bone tired from working trying to make the dollars for my tuition and I did. One more year of school.......now let me go read even though it's almost midnight I can sleep in tomorrow.

Well Vi, like I say I do not travel much have only left Canada once went to Montego Bay stayed with a Jamaican friend from University. Not even her has been to Port land but let me tell you lady this TR is more than I bargained for.....love, love it. I especially love how you dealt with the Mr. that professed his love for you (brought a smile to my face) and your description. The scenery and flora of Port land is fabulous and your description its as if am right there. Well this is my last year in University and am telling you my second trip to Jamaica when I graduate and have the cash will be to Port land.

Thank you for taking me on a trip with you to Jamaica!! your writing and your pictures make it seem as if I actually took a vacation. I am going back to school this morning all refreshed as if I took a vacation to Port land, even my Mom was reading this trip report with me and enjoying it and she is a die hard Canadian who only travel within Canada. Portland though reminds me of British Columbia interior. Once again, thank you so much for sharing and will check back as time allows school and two part-time jobs does not allow me much free time.
