Ever since we made an enjoyable trip to Spokane and the Inland Northwest several weeks ago we've been planning to return. "Another 72 Hours" I proudly called the plan I started hatching at 35,000' on the flight home from the first trip. But 10 days later we had to cancel that plan. So we planned it again... then had to cancel it again!
Along the way I cited Douglas MacArthur's famous line, "I shall return." Well, it's time for an update:

Of course, even General MacArthur didn't return to the Philippines as fast as he wanted. It took awhile before the troops, resources, and strategy were set.
For us, our third attempt to plan this trip was foiled by rental cars being unavailable. Yesterday we looked at alternate dates and determined we could make it all work— flights, hotels, car, and time off from work— at the end of the month. So, if nothing else goes wrong between now and then, the fourth time will be a charm!
