| How To Get From Medford To Portland |
Choosing Your Poison: (Also Known as Modes of Transportation)
Flying: If you're short on time and patience for singalongs with your seatmate Barry (who's really into Nickelback), then flying is your best bet. Pro: You'll be in Portland before you can say "Rogue Valley International Airport" ten times fast. Con: Just be prepared to explain to Barry why Nickelback isn't the pinnacle of musical achievement during a potential security line delay.
Driving: For the adventurous soul (or someone who needs a road trip to clear their head), driving is a solid option. Pro: You get to blast your own tunes (no Barry!), and the scenic route through Oregon is pretty darn stunning. Con: Medford to Portland traffic can be a beast, so pack some snacks and be prepared to dodge rogue tumbleweeds (they're more common than you think).
Bus: For the budget-minded traveler, the bus is a fantastic choice. Pro: Kick back, relax, enjoy the scenery, and maybe even make a new friend (hopefully not Barry). Plus, bus tickets are generally cheaper than plane fares. Con: The journey can be a bit longer, but hey, think of it as a chance to unwind and catch up on that latest bestseller you haven't gotten around to yet.
Important Note: If you're considering hopping on a Bigfoot tour bus thinking it's a shortcut... it's not. Those hairy fellas are more interested in seclusion than public transportation (and who can blame them?).
