What's more Portland than staying in a bus?!?
I surprised my girlfriend (now fiance) with a trip to Portland and immediately booked the bus when I saw it. Even on a cold, rainy weekend, we found the bus to be delightful and cozy and felt like home (once we got the heaters on after arriving).
We were out and about a lot and eating our way through Portland, so we didn't really use the kitchen much, but why would you when there is so much great food around.
I proposed to my girlfriend on this trip and we'll always have the unique memory of staying on the bus!
