Welcome Family and Friends! We decided to start this journal with hopes that someday we'll completely fill it with travels and adventures. For now we'd like to share one of our recent adventures as a married couple. This weekend we hiked our first "14-ner" in Colorado, Mount Bierstadt. It's one of Colorado's 54 summits that reach over 14,000 feet. We started out enthusiastically at 6am, and according to Backpacker magazine "people in fit shape" should reach the summit in 2 hours: we got there in 4 hours...and had to carry Jello the last 2 miles down the mountain in Tim's backpack... ... read more

Rupert & I hit the road today. Becca drives us to the RV center outside of Denver, and when we get there are informed that we did not call ahead to tell them when we would pick up the RV so have to wait a while until they can get it ready. Which ends up being fine for us, because we needed to head to the store anyway to get some groceries & supplies. Becca as usual is a great sport about it, and comes with us before she has to run back to work. I was sad to say goodbye to her, we had such a good time together in Boulder & exploring Colorado. After a rather brief introduction to RVing, we jump in and head west on I70. Rupert is driving (that was the ... read more

Well finally at Denver after a 20hr bus ride. My body is aching!!! Had a bit of a nightmare bus companion for the whole way! This guy was in the queue beside me at Chicago and i did my best to avoid him on the bus but he ended up sitting in front of me. He was a right charmer, thought he was a bit of a ladies man. One memorable chat up line to any girl that would listen - "come on over to my cadillac, there's room for 2". Honestly he was eyeing up anything that moved and was going up and down the bus talking and singing to everyone. A few people told him to shut up but he wasnt bothered. He'd been on the bus for 3 days right enough and ... read more

We departed our house at 6:40 eastern time (4:40 Colorado Time). After a quick check in we all ate breakfast and headed for our terminal. During the 30 minutes that we were waiting for our plane to arrive we saw several other planes enter and leave BWI. Once our plane arrived we watched the service people (that's what my mom called them) get our plane ready for our journey west. On the plane we watch the movie "The Last Mimsie". Our flight to Denver, Colorado was thirty minutes quicker than expected. The Denver Airport was very big, in saying than I mean that it was a few huge buildings connected by a underground tram. After about an hour at the airport we took a shuttle to our friends house (Dave Raymond's). After we settled in, ... read more
