1) I recently returned from New York City and stayed at the Marriott Newark Airport Hotel. The rate was 1/3 the cost of a comparable downtown Manhattan hotel. My taxi from the Newark airport to downtown was 20 minutes and I returned via the Newark airport train from Penn Station.
2) David Zielke from the Port of Portland gives us a Baggage X-Ray Machine Update. Many thanks to David and his team for
developing more international air service to Portland and being awarded the Conde Nast U.S. Airport of the year for 2007!

the design has been completed and the construction contract has been awarded to Hoffman. The project is beginning this spring and is projected to be completed by the fall of 2010. Passengers will not see anything different in the terminal until the latter stage of construction when the CTX machines are removed from the lobby and the new system is in place.

Viet Nam
Diane and I recently returned from a wonderful trip to Viet Nam. The country reminded us of our first visit to mainland China 25 years ago.
Tourism is going to boom in Viet Nam over the next 10 years!
We traveled from the north (Hanoi) to the south (Saigon) with stops in Hue (the ancient capitol) and Denang.
Highlights included visits to the Army museum in Hanoi, the unspoiled "China Beach" of Denang, the Cu Chi underground tunnels and the Mekong Delta.
People were extremely friendly and the shopping was spectacular. Our US dollar is very strong "in country".
Hotels were four and five star and with United Airlines starting service soon to Saigon, now is the time to visit Viet Nam. Let us plan an unforgettable trip for you.
Regards,
Doug and Diane Walker
