•Portland has some solid taco spots. Excellent margs. 5 stars.
•You can get to the airport 30 min ahead and you’ll probably still be too early.
•Everythjng you need to succeed is less than a 10 min drive from PYS. West Marine, hardware store (must buy gas here), chowda’, Trader Joe’s, Becky’s Diner, they’ve got it all!
