Amtrak Thruway

Pros: I have achieved more independence thanks to Point bus system. No longer having to depend on other rides. And they said my service dog can come next time too. I just didn’t want to be distracted and mess up my firat trip to Sea Side on my own so my mom watched her for me this time. Cons: On the way back i didn’t have a way to charge my usb-C. Its the small one. I might be getting a mobility scooter soon too i should’ve checked more into that situation. Tips: Don’t be afraid to communicate with the bus drivers regarding your stops. There all friendly.

Portland is the largest city in Oregon and accordingly one of the state's best vacation destinations. Also known as the City of Roses, this city along the Willamette River wows visitors with its diverse street food, quirky counterculture, and sprawling bookstores such as the world-famous Powell's Books.

Portland is the 5th best city in the United States for outdoor activities, thanks in part to open-air grounds like the expansive Forest Park. Gardens are also excellent outdoor date locales for couples on a romantic getaway: stop and smell the roses at either the International Rose Test Garden or the Portland Japanese Garden.

Once you've gotten hungry from a long day wandering outside, nearly every block downtown has a plethora of food trucks waiting to tickle your taste buds. Or, kick back at one of the many breweries in the #3 best city for craft beer in the United States. Unique locations like McMenamin's brewpubs in renovated cinemas or historic hotels do their part to "keep Portland weird."

As the biggest city in Oregon, Portland is a hub for travel throughout the Pacific Northwest. Amtrak train service and various bus services operate primarily out of Union Station, conveniently-located downtown, and nearby Portland International Airport makes it easy to travel to Portland from near and far.
