We had checked in on the 9th into the Westin Salishan. It was our 40th anniversary, and we planned on 5-7 nights there. We had spent 5 days in Gold Beach and drove up on the 9th and checked into the Salishan. We did the tourist things in Depot Bay on the 10th and had dinner, a walk on the beach and went to bed early, which is why I was up early on the 11th.

That drive down the Oregon Coast was really surreal on 9/11 last year. As you know that drive south on 101, is one of the most beautiful drives in the world. We would catch ourselves looking some of the awesome scenery and then both of us getting tears in our eyes when the nightmare of the day came back. We knew that thousands of Americans that day would never see another coastal day or drive or just be with their loved ones.

So when are you getting married?
