Denver Travel Blogs

Today was a long day.  After a long night partying with our friends in Beijing, and even making some new ones, we woke at 9am.  It took a bit to get packed and then left the hotel.The International Airport for Beijing is about an hour from the city center, which I didn't realize.  We…

I “met” William through TravBuddy. He (williamsworld) commented on my blog about attending a Rockies/Giants game and we discovered that we both had a love of baseball and a fond remembrance of Dusty Baker. Me, from his days with the Atlanta Braves. William, because he actually knows Dusty and f…

Generally I'm a wheat girl.  I like it when there's a spice or two other than hops...you can't shame me.  But I think I might have to go out of my comfort zone here and get into a few beers that have some color to say the least.  I volunteered to pour at the Great American Beer Fes…

It's early as I stand in the airport. Finally, I've been so busy with a new house purchase, work, volunteering, and day-to-day chores that I haven't really been able to focus on this trip at all. It wasn't until I stood in front of gate B45 at Denver Intl Airport that I began to feel excited abou…

Wednesday, April 16, 2008   The day has finally arrived. I have been looking forward to this trip ever since Margo surprised me with in for Christmas. I was up at about 5:40 AM. We planned to be on our way to the airport at 6:15 AM. 35 minutes is enough time for me to get up and ready. Margo…

Today is Nov. 27, 2008 (Thanksgiving day) It’s 6 am and I have been working in this Emergency Room since last night at 11 pm. My flight to Denver, Colorado leaves at 9:30 am and I know a long day still waits for me.   I will be traveling this time with a friend of mine:  Daly,…

my home state

I spent a day just wandering around Denver. This day wasn’t like the others. I really took some time to look at all the places that I have known. Usually I go and look at a place to capture a picture as to offer proof that in was really there but I this morning of exploring took a little differen…

I had come into Denver, first stopping by Invesco Field, home of the Denver Broncos football team. I drove around the stadium, but outside of the parking lot. I did not take any pictures, since I did not have much time. When trying to get out of the area, I tried to find a short cut, but ended up c…

My long journey back home from Amsterdam began with a wake-up call I requested for 7:30 a.m. with the hotel reception. True to their word the call came in Dutch asking me to get up, of course by this time Agnes was awake and dressed. She did not allow me to remain in bed as I struggled helplessly t…

I have seen Denver and a larger portion of the state of Colorado from the skies. The view at night is not so good, but in the day, it is something to behold. I have planned on several occasions to visit Denver but my tour is yet to mature on the ground. In the air however I seem to have seen much o…

My plane touched down to Dallas/Fort Worth airport after only 3 hours of sleep.  The night before, I was hanging-out with an old schoolmate of mine who I haven't seen in 10 years.  I was waiting for about 1 hour for Joanne to pick me up at the Starbucks branch in Flushing, Queens - a very…

Friday we were on the "bright-and-early" Air Tran flight from Cleveland to Denver.  You're not going to believe me when I tell you our tickets were free.  Well, not FREE, we paid the taxes, but the actual ticket was free.  Wendy's offered a promotion and we took it! As soon as we fl…

With the swirling mess of activities that had gone on in my life in the last few months, last week's jaunt into Denver was essentially a mandatory holiday.  It's funny how you can pack your life into so many pieces of baggage and then at the same time with just the right amount of will power y…

The flight from Denver was good.  We left on time but because it was so hot in Denver the plane couldn't carry enough fuel to get us all the way to Atlanta, GA where my connecting flight to Shannon, Ireland was.  We stopped in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for about 20 minutes while they re-ful…
