The City and County of Denver is the capital and the most populous city of the State of Colorado. Denver is located in the South Platte River Valley on the High Plains just east of the Front Range of the Southern Rocky Mountains. The Denver downtown district is located immediately east of the confluence of Cherry Creek with the South Platte River, approximately 15 miles (24 kilometers) east of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Denver is nicknamed The Mile-High City because its official elevation is exactly one mile (5,280 feet or approximately 1,609 meters) above sea level. The Denver International Airport is a hub for United Airlines and Frontier Airlines making it an easy place to travel to and from.
The United States Census Bureau estimates that, in 2006, the population of the City and County of Denver was 566,974, making it the 27th most populous U.S. city. The Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Statistical Area had an estimated 2006 population of 2,408,750 and ranked as the 21st most populous U.S. metropolitan statistical area, and the larger Denver-Aurora-Boulder Combined Statistical Area had an estimated 2006 population of 2,927,911 and ranked as the 17th most populous U.S. metropolitan area.

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 got to the airport in pleanty of time but spent nearly three times what I thought it would cost (125 yuan). The lines were of course long. While we were checking our bags we had to reor...

I started my vacation, from work, on Saturday, June 7th. I say “from work” because this was going to be anything but a vacation. We are painting our house. The outside. The part of the house that defends me against the rain, snow, and high UV Colorado sunshine. The part of the house that needs regular maintenance and a coat of paint every decade or so. Oops.

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.

On our trips we have fallen into certain routines and responsibilities. I almost always take care of the planning a...

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 Asian area in Queens. I wanted to deck her because after putting a full day of work, dropped the car with my sister + lugging all my heavy luggage to the last stop of the 7 train - I was TIRE...
