After that we told our son in Portland, we would pay to fly him down for Christmas, we were too old for winter trips up and down I5.

LOL - I can relate. One upshot of our trip last Thanksgiving was that we originally were going to fly to Seattle, but cancelled due to all the airport craziness after September 11 - figured, what the heck, we've driven up lots of times.

Grampa, Bknotts, EBUCK - thanks for the advice. We may end up doing just that - 101 all the way to Newport. I just hope there's something left of Oregon by the time we go :-(

I'm sure there will still be quite a bit of it left. If I have anything to say about it that is.

The drive up the coast is great! Scenic ect. there are also lots of interesting places to stop and tour along the way.
