PS Members in Eugene, Oregon?

[Matata]

I''m in town for business and thinking about staying until Sunday to do some shopping. Anybody in the area want to get together for dinner Sat. night?

hee hee Matata I was just in Eugene last week for one day for work...it's tiny!! I loved the small airport. But doesn't seem like much really goes on there...but hope you find some fun stuff to do this wkd. My friend was saying that Bend is not that far and is a super cute town, so maybe check that out?

Mara you were so close! I''m 2.5 hours south of Eugene and it''s a shorter drive to Bend from home than from Eugene. Eugene is a shopping mecca compared to Medford. I need to stock up on Fage at Trader Joes and buy some outdoor gear at REI. Eugene is huge compared to what it was when I lived here. So I was ROTFLOL at your "it''s tiny" comment. I think the airport has two runways now right? Place is growing like crazy.

HAH oh we loved the airport!!! i remember thinking 'i need to move to a place like this'. when the 4 of us went through the security area, my coworker joked that it must be rush hour for the security people...seriously we were like the only 4 people in the airport. oh and 2 other people on our plane.

but it was so relaxing and mellow there...i have never been that relaxed at an airport before. it was refreshing. and everyone was so friendly..amazing.

actually i used to have a friend a long time ago who lived in Medford, i have visited there, i remember it being small yet kind of cute at the time. i like the towns near the border of CA since the weather is more like ours than if you go further into Oregon. i always wanted to visit Ashford where i heard it was more like a trendy town but we never made it down there. and it's been years since i have been over there. i was just in Eugene and Springfield for a day trip for work.

i am totally unfamiliar with Bend but my coworker was telling me it was super cute and that it's a huge Craftsman house town which i LOVE LOVE LOVE. so we were joking around that we should move out to Bend and get Craftsmans with huge porches and live the mellow lifestyle. ahhh it sounds so good!!!
