Aerial views of the Gorge Thanks to Enviadventures

We had the ABSOLUTE worst sleep ever! There was cigarette ash on our "clean" beds, and our neighbours were fighting about something in Russian until 4:00am, and on top of that, one of our friends snored SO LOUD all night long.

Our alarms all went off at 6:00am and we all instantly got out of bed, being that we weren't sleeping in the first place. We headed to the unofficial Mecca of AAA breakfast restaurants, good ol McDonalds. Love it or hate it, we somehow ALWAYS find our selves in the drive through to a McDonalds in the mornings, no matter how many times we all say "IM DONE WITH MCDONALDS." 

We finally arrived at the small private airstrip in Portland, conditions where absolutely GORGEOUS! No puke bag needed for me :)

We divided into 2 groups, the first group (Brayden, Errin, and our friend Ryan) were up first

A little tight for us, but once we were settled in it was not so bad!

The first flight! Brayden, Errin, and Ryan taking off!

Banking and heading up the Columbia River Gorge! Just beautiful!

Have you ever had the window open ON A PLANE?! The pilot let us open the window! I didn't even know the windows could be opened on planes!
