In what may be curious symbolism of the trip; I recently had the pleasure of flying from LAX to DEN (by way of LAS) and was utterly shocked by the stark difference between Los Angeles's older airport and Denver's nearly new (mid-90's) one.
The first thing that struck me was the ...

Whew. After a bit of travel stress, I've made it back home to Fort Collins. The snow is lovely.
I scored a sweet seat on a United Airbus A319; row 6, window seat, behind a bulkhead separating the First Class and Economy Cabins. I really enjoyed having the little extra legroom ...

I've been back for about a week now, having spent the first part of my trip in the Fresno area with my friends Myles, Kim, and David. The ...

I can't ...

Saw this delightful sign today at Denver International.
Who knew there were flights to the great icy south -- from Denver? Interestingly, this terminal had no passengers-in-waiting, nor a gate agent. One suspects that this is not a very popular route... :-)

Buy moving boxes.
If you choose to not buy, acquire a collection of identically-sized boxes. If you can, purchase a few varietes of such (ideally you'd get more than 1 of each variety...) for varying storage needs. They stack so much easier!
For this trip, I sprung a leak in my wallet ...

Moving is extremely hard work. Moving out of state, say, from California to Colorado, is even harder. Take, for example, the logistics of renting a moving truck, finding a cat friendly hotel to stay at a mid-way point, and flying your moving buddy back out to California.
Note to self: rent ...

My 5-day respite from work is coming to a close and I'm about to return to my work routine. I'm not sure I'm ready yet. I guess you really can't ever have enough R&R?
I would really like to visit these places:
The backwoods of Yosemite.
Ireland
Seattle (again)
I think I can do #1 ...

Freshly back from Yosemite.
Thanks to Myles for tagging along and help make yet another fine trip a reality. Also, cheers to David for coming down for a fine, if not abbreviated, day of riding around the valley floor.
Lyle - would have loved to have ya along. Maybe when you're stateside ...
