Final itinerary

Methinks this will be the final itinerary for the US trip... I've had some good suggestions from you readers (both of you), and there are things I will definitely try to get in the next time I'm over, but time and money is scarce and I have to make some choices. Anyways, here goes.

Updated June 9: Today I discovered I'd booked the three nights in Portland for the wrong month. This tipped the scales so now I'm only spending one night there and venturing deeper inside Washington instead. Meh.

Updated June 22: Made a final adjustment, going as far north as Seattle...

Ah, so you are traveling from sea to shining sea (or somethin') WITHOUT eating anything but salad :) Too bad (not) that you are missing out on ribs, fries, steaks, burgers, subways and such. Sorry :)
