We left home around 4:30 for our 6:25 flight. Tried the new
relax.com parking over on 70 because it's covered and I had a
free day coupon. I liked it - the pickup bus followed us to our
spot which was row I space 44 and took us to Terminal 2 for
American. They wouldn't take my or Libbie's credit card which
was of some concern because we had 8 days in front of us. We
found later the computer was down for account maintenance.
Picked up a Brueggers bagle and coffee at our gate. The flight
was very smooth until we got to Dallas then we lost an hour as
we went to the South in some very bumpy weather. We landed at
the time our Denver flight was to take off but they held the
plane for us. Very nice. The Denver flight was surprisingly
smooth although Denver was socked in with some miserable foggy
and dreary weather. Stopped at iHop for Easter brunch then drove
to the Denver Art Museum. What an unusually weird shaped
building. I enjoyed the Western Art. From there went to our
hotel and checked in. Loved the old feel of this hotel. There
are antique moldings and fixtures, etc. Our room is newly
refurbished with modern fixtures, a Bose radio and even WIFI
which I was able to connect to without a hitch. For dinner we
went McCormicks fish house which is part of the hotel. I had
Asahi Tuna which was outstanding with a bottle of Columbia Crest
Chardonnay. We shared a chocolate truffle cake for dessert.
Before dinner I returned the rental car. The trip took 2 hours
although it didn't seem that long. I took the highway 20 miles
to the airport, got gas at the aairport, rode the Hertz shuttle
to the terminal, went in the terminal to buy a Super Shuttle
ticket then went around town in the shuttle and the rain until
the Oxford hotel.
