Short TR here on my Portland Trip only posting limited info.
JetBlue flight from JFK terminal 5 stopped at Airbus for a complimentary $10 Voucher and a Nice Kit.
Airbus Kit I flew in to PDX and rented a car in the terminal at National
I was upgraded to a Infinity SUV
there are no tolls in Portland
Portland is known to be raining most of the year but light rain.
luckily I had gorgeous weather.
I wanted to stay at a hotel with a outdoor pool but found that near impossible.
Driving in Portland is amazing there is barely traffic even in the city during rush hour.
I arrived at the Westin at around 12 am and was upgraded to a Studio Suite I pushed for a bigger suite but the only other suite they had was the Pres. which was occupied. The hotel is nice and under construction at the moment the room was more than adequate and lighting was poor. I was able to get a great rate thru BRG compared to Hotwire's 50% promo
I parked my car down the block at a outdoor lot just mind yourself they could get very full so book a spot that most likely WONT be double parked you'll end up saving 65%+

Finished my meetings and went to a Mall & a outdoor Parked.
Had a beer at the Nines rooftop and headed to Cafe at the J for Dinner which luckily was Meat Tuesday Nights.
Burger was delicious with frech's fried onions on top.
The next morning I had to drive to Eugene and flew out of EUG
not something one requires to put on their bucket list.
but the drive down there wasn't bad.
