Improving Connectivity at MFR
I was pleased to learn recently that my local airport, Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport (MFR), is pursuing a grant to help it secure a direct flight to a major Midwest hub, improving connectivity to destinations in the Midwest and East Coast from here in Southern Oregon and Northern California. Even with the pandemic dropping passenger numbers last year by 53 percent, about 500,000 flew out of the airport in 2020, and officials expect that number to bounce back up to over a million once travel resumes to normal volumes. Prior to the slow-down, flight capacity averaged around 85 percent.

Off to the Iberian Peninsula
Just a week ago today my husband and I arrived in Madrid to begin a nearly three-week road trip in Spain and Portugal. We probably wouldn't be brave enough to take such a tour solo on our first joint visit to the Iberian Peninsula, but thankfully we are enjoying it together with our great friends and travel partners, Paul and Julie, who count this as their fourth trip to Spain. With Julie as our intrepid driver and Paul as her adept navigator, we are in excellent hands.
