Welcome to our adventure!!!

This is my first adventure in blogging, living overseas, and skiing in the Alps. Patience with the first, enjoy the second, and you can be jealous of the third.

Week two: Denver to Portland and Back



Tues. 8/3: Started with an early morning to DIA where we caught a flight to Portland, Oregon. I have to say that “Southwest Airlines” has a remarkable ability to depart on time, arrive early, and treat you with respect (no this is not a paid announcement.

Met up with my brother Tim and began 2 days of good eating, exploring new places (including a Buddhist temple) in Portland, and spending quality time with my sister-in-law Val, nephew Trevor and his wife Heather. It was a great time of catching up with what is happening today and reflecting on memorable past times together. I think Heather has a new perspective of her husband after today. What a couple!!! We were also able to get our “Golden fix” as we celebrated Shasta’s 14th birthday.

Thursday 8/5: Caught an afternoon flight to Denver and had the pleasure of riding in on some massive thundercells. Yahoo!!!!!


This week has moved as fast as last week was long! Susan mentioned that we will be on the plane for Sarajevo a week from today. Hard to believe that two and a half years of planning is about to happen!!!!

Friday 8/6: It is clear in Denver this morning and the front range of the Rockies is beautiful. It is another day of traveling to Denver International Airport to pick up Seth and Josh. I was able to get them in at the exact same time. It will be great to see them both but even better to see Susan’s face as she doesn’t know Josh is coming. Surprises, you gotta love em!!!!

Evening: It worked!!!!!! I have never seen a look of surprise and joy when she turned from greeting Seth and saw Josh standing there. It will be a blast to spend the next 4 days together before we leave.
