sierciaThis'll be quick, since I'm on an unfamiliar computer.
Made it to Denver last night. Thought I might have trouble at the airport 'cause I was running late, but there were no lines. So, I walzted through checkin, watlzed through security, then sat at the gate for two hours. I have to say, I really liked Frontier airlines. They kept us up to date on our (shortish) delay, the flight attendants were super nice, and the plane, well, as comfortable as planes get. DIA, on the other hand, was NOT so nice. Huge, and confusing, and a $50 cab ride away from my hotel. OUCH!
The install today went well. Only a few minor problems, and everyone seemed to like the system. Whether that was the truth, or whether they were being nice, time will tell.
I have to go back in the morning tomorrow, but only for an hour or two. This is good because it means I don't have to decide between rushing to catch the early flight (and getting home early) or lazing around and catching the later one (and having a relaxing day, but getting home at 10:30), but I still get to sleep in a bit because I don't have to be there until 9:30 or so, AND, I'll sill have time to have lunch at the interesting Japanese restaurant that is right near the paper, and was very highly recommended to me. Yay!
I have to say, I love what I've seen of Denver. The paper (and thus my hotel) are right downtown, and it's a lovely 20 minute walk down a bustling pedestrian mall between here and there. We finished early today, so I got to wander back slowly, stopping at a few stores and doing a little shopping, and just kind of enjoy myself. I wonder if I can convince my company we need a west coast tech support department. Hmmmm....
Well, I should go, as I want to freshen up and then try to find this sushi restaurant that looked so good. Sashime is only 1 point for four pieces, so I think I'm going to have a good meal tonight!

Date: 2002-06-26 08:57 pm (UTC)I figure I've got a 1 in 3 chance of going to Denver. Our firm is opening an office there; I expect they'll bring enough staff on local to handle everything up there, but I could see either getting pulled in as extra personnel or some kind of setup type thing.
I'm not holding my breath, but it would be a cool trip, I think.

Date: 2002-06-28 07:10 pm (UTC)DIA is mostly confusing because the terminal is completely seperate from the concourses where the gates are... so you have to know to follow the signs for "terminal", and THEN you get to see the signs for taxis and whatnot. Obviously, I figured it out; it wasn't TOO bad, but not great at night, when I was tired and just wanted to get to my hotel. Actually, thinking abck, the signs were confusing too... giving you multiple options for ways to go to the terminal, which just got me all turned around.
