Holiday Inn Denver-Lakewood, Co

When I sold my house, several curious friends wondered if would be able to live off the proceeds for the rest of my life. Of course, I would reply, provided I don't live too long! <br><br>Of course, money is not the only issue in traveling. I wondered if/when I would tire of moving around, not having a home, miss my friends and kids, miss the USA...But meanwhile I had a long list of things I wanted to see and do and ...

... fitting. My old ski boots were incredibly painful. Even though they too had once been custom fitted, they still managed to squeeze my feet and rubbed the skin off my ankle bone. Convinced there was hope out there for happier ski feet I not let down. Getting a new pair of ski boots tends to be a real fun experience (at least for me). You are surrounded by knowledgeable people who love the sport and what they do, and the other ...

It's hard to believe, but this time next week I'll be on a flight headed to Cairo. The planning of this trip has seemed to go on forever and I'm so excited to get started. Tonight I'm starting to pack up all my the necessary items. Water filter, first aid kit, silly sun hat...you get the idea. <br><br>Hopefully I will be able to share some posts from the road and I'll be having a grand adventure. <br><br>Here's a sneak peak at my schedule.<br><br><br>Day 1 Arrive ...

Day 5<br><br>I missed a day (oh no...), but its ok because our trip has been extended a bit so there will be more posts to make up for it! <br><br>Day 4 was of course more of the same. Driving, driving, driving. This was only interrupted by brief stops for gas and a visit to pizza hut. LCB and Mshizz are likely to be proud of me for stopping at Za Hut, because they know its not generally my favorite place to get a slice. But...when you're road trippin' in the middle of ...

Linda and I are addicted. We generally can make it to 4 or 5 in the afternoon but in the past few weeks it seems to have gotten more intense and we've indulged in our addiction earlier in the day, and, once, in the morning. Like all addicts, we convince ourselves that it doesn't interfere with our lives, we're in control, we can stop any time...HA! No, it has become clear that dominoes rule our lives. And although dominoes seems ...

... back was leckeres! Amber, geh die Treppen staubsaugen!<br><br>So das habe ich einfach gemacht. Ich habe alles gemacht, dass sie mich gesagt haben.<br><br>Dann war es party Zeit!! Teresa haette keine ahnung gehabt, dass wir ihr mit einer party ueberraschen werden. Es war viel spass, es gab viele Leute, die ich nicht seit langem gesehen haben. Jeder hat was gegessen und getrunken und spass gehabt. Ich haette ...

... Weinachten, Valentins Tag, usw. Ich bin so froh, dass ich ein Au-pair mädchen war.<br><br>Was kommt gleich zu tun? Heute Abend kriege ich meine Geburtstag Geschenk von Jessica- Wir werden ins Konzert gehen. Lil Wayne, Kid Cudi, Ludacris, T Pain, Sean Kingston, Flo Rida, Soulja Boy, usw sollen dabei sein. Schade, dass das Wetter nicht gut war. Guck mal die Bilder an- wir waren ganz nass!!<br><br>Morgen ...

Okay, it is Tuesday and I finally figured out how to work the picture feature on the web site! Last sunday I went for a bike ride between Boulder and Fort Collins, which was absolutely gorgeous! We topped a hill and below us was the little big town of Boulder, sitting at the foot of mountains that stretch up to 8, 10, 12, even ...

... because Courtney has an old bumper sticker on her car. We were going to walk through Estes Park for fun, but we were so tired and sore, we decided to just drive back. Most bizarre part of driving back: we hit a construction site several miles outside of Boulder and we were literally stopped on the road. No one was moving. I stuck my body out the window to see what was going on and they had traffic down to one lane and for a solid ten minutes let the other ...

... in Beijing and in Shanghai, but not till I was sloppy! So personally, I realized my maturity and leadership within a group that holds much responsibility and has goals. I nurtured and cherished the passion for learning and gaining the knowledge I so desired. I had no idea I would get into the history of China so excitedly. There were times someone would comment on my note taking during a tour or on the bus. I would carry my camera around, take pictures then write ...
