Utopia Vineyards and Winery Newberg Oregon

Diane and I visited the Oregon wine country last weekend. Our favorite winery was Utopia on Ribbon Ridge near Newberg. With a new tasting room, this small winery is a 10. Try the new Estate Reserve 2009 Pinot noir. We of course had to join their wine club. 17445 NE Ribbon Ridge Road, Newberg. Say hi two their two friendly dogs William and Harry for us.

Try the Painted Lady restaurant in Newberg after your tasting. !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Viet Nam Vets Return After 40 Years

Walker Travel had the honor of helping four Viet Nam veterans return to their war fields this month. Jim is from Gresham and Philip now makes his home in Florida. These soldiers were stationed near the Ho Chi Minh trail and boarder of Laos. They finally found the old French plantation mansion swimming pool where they had a brief R and R. It was covered with jungle overgrowth.

New Zealand Earthquake - Travel Insurance

One of our good clients are now visiting New Zealand's South Island. Because of the recent earthquake in Christchurch his travel plans are being altered as we speak. Fortunately he purchased a very good travel insurance policy. Not only will he be covered for cancellation fees but also for trip interruption and travel delay. We wish Curtis a safe and peaceful journey home.
