I was in Colorado from 9 - 12 Apr 07 for a business trip. It was a whirlwind trip really. We flew direct from Singapore to Los Angeles, 14+ hours on Singapore Airlines' Airbus 340-500, which was the most comfortable flight I had as the plane comes with spacious seats and leg room (executive economy). After waiting for a couple of hours in LAX for our flight to Denver, we were told that the flight was cancelled. We spent the night at the Westin Airport hotel.


We arrived in Denver noon the next day. There was a traffic jam from the Airport to Downtown, and we finally arrived at the Ramada Inn Downtown around half past two. We cancelled the meeting for the day and went Downtown.


Because of the one-day delay, you can imagine how we rushed through the next 2.5 days with meetings after meetings. Our plan to visit Garden of the Gods in Colorado was blown. My memories of Colorado are only the journey from Denver to Colorado Spring, and the 16th Street Mall, where we had our dinner for three days...
