Talked to Mark just the other night on SKYPE. He told me that he will be flying in to Portland, Oregon the weekend of March 14th and after attending a seminar he would board the AmTrac train on the 16th and come up to Tacoma. He will arriving sometime around 8:30PM.
We will have sometime together before he will return to Hawaii via Seattle.
Mark said he would like to do some hiking around the area here. I hope the weather co-operates.
