along the way

we spent the night on the 8th floor of this ritz

I spent Saturday and Sunday in airplanes, customer service queues, and shuttle buses. Travel is always an adventure when I'm along, and this weekend's trip was no exception with multiple snowstorms, flight delays, and, of course... a cancellation or two.


There were lots of great perks of this trip, though:
-- traveling with a friend
-- a cell phone that worked in ALL locations of the trip!
-- occasional wi-fi
-- an airline hotel voucher (first.time.ever.)
plus... two $7 vouchers to cover two partial meals in the airport! (I've always wanted a $5 airport smoothie...)
-- a lush down comforter and a warm room for the night

We arrived safely Sunday afternoon, [though I wanted to beg our shuttle driver to please stop repeating the story of the shuttle van that was t-boned earlier that afternoon in a snow-related accident...] and are nestled in the cutest little bed and breakfast under snow-covered pine trees somewhere in Colorado. It's going to be an amazing week.

ps- we even have a real-live fireplace here! sooo lovely.
