The S. S. Legacy, our home for a week.
The ocean crashes against the soaring rocks with a thunderous roar, white spume splattering on the cliff as the angry waves reel back for another assault on land.
This is what Tom pictured for years as his first view of the ocean, until we got married, I introduced him to the world of travel, and he left our state for the very first time (!) and saw the Gulf of Mexico on our honeymoon. Although he was impressed with the beauty of the area and could not get over how salty the water was, this was not the beach he had envisioned for all those years.
Now, finally, after all these years, he is going to actually see the beach he has imagined.
In Oregon.
In just a couple of weeks.
Once again, we are heading out on another adventure with one of our favorite cruise lines, Un-Cruise Adventures. Our first week in Oregon, we will be on our own and will spend a few days at the coast to see the aforementioned beach, a few days in the mountains in a luxury cabin, and a few days in the quirky city of Portland.
We are excited about our week exploring Oregon but we are far more excited about our cruise that will begin the next week.
We will board the S. S. Legacy for an amazing adventure on the Snake and Columbia Rivers. The Legacy was refurbished in 2013 and is designed to resemble an early turn-of-the-century coastal steamer which plied these waters more than a hundred years ago. Beautifully furnished with period décor and carved wooden cabinetry, the ship is complete with a full bar, dining room, saloon, hot tub, sauna, fitness equipment, yoga classes – and a massage is included for every guest!
This is my kind of travel.
