      The original plan   
      was to drive home back in two and half days. However, since the   
      sightseeing was over in one day, they decided to drive back in two days to   
      arrive home one day earlier. They drove to Portland, Oregon on the 5th.   
      day (6/20) and back to home on 6/21 from there, though they were quite   
      long drives (630 miles on 6/20 and 675 miles on 6/21 for almost 11 hours   
      of driving on both days.).        
             
      
    
      When they  
      approached to the Portland, Interstate Highway 84 was running along the  
      Columbia River, which was the border line seperating Washington and Oregon  
      states with great view of the river for more than an hour.       
            
      
    
      The major     
      objective of this trip was rather driving than sightseeing originally. The     
      Glacier National Park was selected as the destination as they had to have     
      some direction any way without much expectation, but just because they have     
      never been there. However, it was a great trip and the park was beutiful     
      place worthwhile to visit. As they drove unpopulated area with straight     
      roads mostly without many cars and high 70-75 mph speed limits most     
      places, they really enjoyed the driving as well as the great scenery of     
      the Glacier National Park, far greater than expected. They drove total of    
      2,977 miles in 6 days, equivalent to the distance of San Francisco - New    
      York.
