Sheraton Denver West Hotel And Conference Center Lakewood

... When things fell apart in Peru I canceled the Africa trip and headed to Boulder to recuperate - which was really the best decision I could have made. After 6 weeks there I feel much better and felt ready to move on but not ready to face a lot of unknown. I still want to go to Africa but right now it feels too daunting. When I make that trip you will know I am fully recovered.<br><br>So what now? I am slowing down ...

... when you've been in the car a week and you're living in hotels the routine gets REALLY old, especially when you're ready to get to your destination. Turns out there was a huge pile up on route 40 that afternoon so theoretically we were wise in holding off another day, but Day 8 and the open road can't come fast enough! <br><br>Deciding to take an optimistic stance towards our stationary situation, I headed out for an afternoon of ...

... br>Arrive in Cairo at any time. <br>Day 2 Cairo (B,D)<br>Explore the Great Pyramids at Giza and the famous Sphinx, perhaps topping off your visit with an optional camel ride. Buzzing with activity, Cairo is a mix of modern and ancient wonders. Be amazed by the treasures in the Egyptian Museum before boarding an overnight train to Aswan. <br>Days 3-4 Aswan (2B,D)<br>Visit a Nubian village on Elephantine Island. Find out about the way of life here as we have the ...

... you take what you can get. Again our book on tape/ipod pulled threw and kept the boredom at bay. By the end of the day we were out of the plains and into the beginnings of mountains and CO! <br><br>We had dinner at the hotel, which was delightful. Afterward I met a friend for drinks, and HH and her sister gave me the nightlife tour of Boulder. Couldn't think of a better or more exciting way to see the city! The next day (Day 5) the plan was to head to Steamboat ...

... be the poison of choice, we also partake in scrabble and cribbage...but dominoes, particularly "fives" has a firm hold. <br><br>So now you know how I happily spent much of my time in Boulder. I did manage to find time to swim laps at the local pool and take hikes in the foothills. And one evening I joined Linda and three other women who had an extra ticket for the opera in Denver. I'm not a big fan of opera but i do enjoy ...

... chip kekse und cupcakes gebacken. Sie waren auch lecker- wenn ich das sagen darf!<br><br>Alle die Leute haben mich was ueber Gregor gefragt: Wie haben wir einander kennengelernt? Wie laufts es zwischen uns? Wann kommt er weider? Sie freuen sich auf 19. Dez,, wenn Gregor weider nach Denver reist. Er kommt um 16 Uhr und um 18 uhr gibts eine weihnachtsparty. Mehr sag ich spaeter.<br><br>Liebe Gruesse aus Amerika!<br>Amber

... my laundry. How weird is that? I really want to see everyone on the east coast (or would that be the 'east side' seeing as where we are going in Virgina is not on the coast?). I have to clean my room in order to go, which in my mind does not seem like a big deal, but in reality, it might be the deciding vote. We still have a lot of things to do ...

... the number of people (and dogs) there running, walking, biking, skating, picnicing, etc. What was funny though, was about 3/4 the way around the trail, Buddy plopped himself down and decided he had had enough. I let him rest for a few minutes, and then he was able to finish the trail like a champ! It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Happy Mother's Day everyone! It was nice talking to everyone!

... Pocatello, where we travelled 100 miles each way to visit "Craters of the Moon" National monument, 100 sq miles of volcanic rock formations in the middle of nowhere, we climbed up a cinder cone (hill of ash) and into a spatter cone (snow inside when 85 degrees outside), Lava tubes stretching miles &amp; spectacular views of the Oregon trail. Started heading across towards the Colorado border to Dinasaur National Park, fossils galore and Dinasaur bones, trekking through ...

... moments, which I hope to capture in my heart. No one is without some message to me. Its as if I am called to this experience and everyone knows I am going to take it. I really feel as if the water I've been floating on has finally begun to stir and the waves are swelling to take me to the next place. Who knew it would be China! Everyday I hope to document my experiences and relive the day through my words. I want to do this, even ...
