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…

We got back from our day trip just in time to get ready to crash some parties.  Party 1 was Jeanne's bosses' sons party which was in some frou frou neighborhood.  I felt a bit under dressed but the hor'douvers were yummy.  We even took a shot of I think it was vodka with Jeanne's bos…

I just returned from a very quick weekend trip to Denver.  The primary purpose of my trip was to attend a game at Coors Field.  I enjoy traveling throughout the United States to check out stadiums throughout major league baseball.  I've been to quite a few of them, though I'm not sur…

One of the greatest parts about living in Denver is its availablity of free entertainment. Most of the museums and even the Denver Zoo have one free day a month. I just happened to grab a flyer from a gentleman on 16th St. that mentioned the zoo's upcoming free day. The weather turned out perfect f…

Veriene, (Veriene) had a birthday on Oct 26th and I looked at her profile photo and thought, I could give her a gift by changing her shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes.  I hope she is happy with the outcome.  Happy Birthday!!   If this is a pho…

This Hooters, the one on Blake Street in downtown Denver, almost doesn’t make my list. I didn’t actually get a chance to sit down and eat or have a drink. Margo used to work at a hair salon, and on Halloween of 2003, the girls decided to dress up as Hooters girls for the occasion. Margo is way …

After leaving Chicago on the California Zephyr, I settled into my Sleepette room and got to know a nice couple from Saginaw, Michigan who were across from me. The train ride was smooth and uneventful. We had a short stop in Ottumwa, Iowa (this is where the character Radar O'Reilly was from on the T…

I stopped in the Hard Rock Cafe in Denver, Colorado.  The Hard Rock Cafe is located off of 16th street which is a popular shopping strip area for shoppers.  The Hard Rock was okay in appearance.  The service was great and the food was okay.  The layout of this Hard Roc…

I had a seat on a morning flight to New York City to catch, so I had booked a minibus from the hostel to LAX at silly o'clock in the morning. However, even though my eyes were bleary the sunrise on the drive to the airport was spectacular. It would appear that rising at tetchy o'clock does have its…

Always worried about flight delay's etc we left home early, about noon, to get to the airport.  The flight was good and quick but with an eight hour layover in LA while waiting for our flight to Sydney.  Unfortunatly the Sydney flight was running a bit late out of New York so it wasn…

Well, safely made it to the airport with three hours to spare.  No traffic on I-25 luckily.  Then free high-speed internet offered by Qwest (awesome).   Time to find a breakfast place, then people watch!  Scott

Hey! I am in Denver Right now, and I am about to pick up my dad from the airport!! I have not seen him for 25 days, but it has seemed like 2 months. After we pick him up, we will go to a family reunion. One thing I have learned about the Colorado River is that there are a lot of bugs and no-see-ums…

I'm working on a list of all the states that I haven't visited and I thought I would be able to cross Colorado off the list with a weekend trip to visit friends.  Unfortunately, I enjoyed the trip so much a three day visit does not seem justice for such a beautiful place!  I stayed with a…

Dan's boss at Walnut Brewery gave us some tickets to go to the Great American Beer Festival in Denver tonight! We'll be trying over a thousand beers from breweries all across the nation. I've never been before but I hear its a great time!This place was crazy! Beer everywhere. An hour before the doo…

So ends my adventure.  I'm finally home.  Let me bring you up to speed.  I got into Chicago 45 minutes early.  It was really foggy out, we didn't know we were close to the ground til we hit it.  Had what was supposed to be a 5 hour layover, but getting in early and all the …
