It's about a 45 / hour drive from Portland but its a definitely must. If you go to guest services, they have special coupon booklets for tourists which result in more discount from the already good sales they have. I would say rent a car unless you need to buy a new set of tires and get them installed cause is uber cheap in USA compared to Canada. We also went to this other mall which was fucking huge... forgot the name tho, i'll pull out my GPS and check. Also, Nordstrom rack is pretty cheap I hear, though I didn't go there last time. Portland downtown isn't anything too special.. but I'd go to Mother's Bistro / Mama Mia for lunch or dinner. You can't forget Cheesecake factory either  We didn't go to many "high class" restaurants cause we're not ballin, do some research on google if you want to go to better ones
I'm don't quite remember the numbers for our gas but we rented a Pontiac G5. It wasn't too bad considering we didn't need any gas until we were in Portland. We did something different when we came back though, drove by the seaside. We went to Astoria on the way back which was beautiful cause u could see the ocean. The ride on the coast isn't that good because you aren't really on the "coast" and the US has the shittest forests ever. They chop down the trees and u can see just cleared land. |
sounds good man ~ how about accommodation ? what kind of hotel were u guys staying and what is the rate like ?
