Radio Paradise

I just wanted to say thank you for all the warmth we have received trekking around the NW and a special big thanks to our three host families and an extra huge thanks to Scott and Justine for organising and helping and hosting our final week. it has been an awesome trip.

We are grateful for the chance to meet both of you and both of your beautiful children. What a wonderful time that was!

It was a great pleasure to meet all four of you. No, really, it was. Let me put it this way: I have never had any urge at all to visit Europe. None. Zip. But I do, now. . . .

If it's any help for your bid next year, these guys are particularly hot on Synchronised Lane Hogging (line abreast, Interstate category), Pointless Tailgating (flowing traffic on a scenic single lane road) and Sudden And Erratic Undertaking (extra points can be earned by immediately slowing to a speed less than that of the undertakee.)

We saw that in Oregon on the way home. I stayed in the right lane at the speed limit until I needed to pass a truck. Often, there would be a car in the left lane just close enough that I couldn't change lanes. I discovered that if I signaled for a lane change, they wouldn't slow to let us change; they would speed up to get ahead of us. {#Doh}

I'm not sure that the rules about lane discipline are the same here darling. Am supervising sprogs by swimming pool but could do with a shower.

And ever so sorry not to be joining y'all—but a fine time was had without ya, Scott! (Well, you know—would have been finer with ya, and all, but. . . .). I'll put a couple pics up in the journals after a bit, here.
