My husband and I traveled to Portland for my niece’s graduation. I was so excited, but also worried that I might have difficulties. Such as not having lights to walk by since I don’t sleep very well. How could I get to the bathroom on the plane or in the room? My concerns have really changed now about traveling since my disabilities.

There might not be bars in the bathroom to help me to so I can get up easier since we are staying in a house, and not a hotel. My husband has informed me that this will probably be our last trip because of my difficulties. This really saddens me and for my husband too. He is hesitant to leave me for any length of time so he can’t travel himself. On the way to Portland, I thought of trying to think of how nice to go someplace new and be positive that everything would work itself out and it did!

We went some places with glorious views of Multnomah Falls of the Columbia River Gorge! It was rain and chilly, but such beautiful views that take your breath away. Enclosed are some gorgeous photos of places we viewed. My niece shared some great restaurants with us. I think I gained 10 pounds during this trip! The food was so delicious and yummy!!! The trip was wonderful. The graduation of my niece was just so lovely to watch!

My husband and I were so proud of her accomplishments and inner drive to succeed!. She is now a doctor of Chiropractic Medicine. The ceremony was just delightful and thankfully not too long. She is planning to live here and start her practice in Austin if everything goes well.
