A Suitcase and Go

I love that Denver has so many ways to get around.  There are electric bikes everywhere by Lyft and Uber and an abundance of scooters all over the place.   The weather Monday/Tuesday were super rainy.  Everyone says it never rains this much here normally, but I actually don't mind it.  The weekends have been beautiful and the rain comes and goes.  What everyone said about the weather is so true, it really varies.  I can leave my AirBnb and it’s a little cool, walk 5 minutes and its really hot.  It definitely requires dressing in layers - I learned that after going to an outdoor bar and freezing because I didn't dress correctly.  Over the weekend I rented a car again and went to explore the mountains.   Highlights: Rocky Mountain National Park - I got to drive around the mountains, see wildlife and hike in the snow.  It was such an adventurous day and every view was unbelievably beautiful.   Royal Gorge Bridge & P...

Landed safely in Denver, Colorado - stop 5 in this crazy adventure!  My first week in Denver has been so fun.  The weekdays are filled with work, walking around and eating lots of awesome food!  I rented a car the first weekend and had wonderful trip around Colorado Springs.  Highlights and pictures below. Red Rocks - OMG I'm in love with it here.  I got up early and went for the sunrise.  Completely worth it - it was so beautiful coming up over the rocks.  Then I went hiking and took in the beautiful sites.  My goal is to come back here to see a concert - everyone has told me it’s a must do.

Little Man Ice Cream - So many recommendations to come here, I can't even count.  I ate a lot more ice cream than I should have, but it was completely worth it.  They're ice cream just melts in your mou...

Finally - this has been in the making forever.  Here I am almost a month later finishing my last post about Hawaii. Livability for me :  50% - I mean, it would completely be a dream… having the water next to you and the sun shining all the time - what more can you ask for? While I would love it, I just don't think I'd get the same opportunities as I do in the continental US in terms of my job.  Plus working East Coast time while in Hawaii was so tough (considering I'm not a morning person at all).  Maybe retirement? Some final pics that didn't make the earlier blog posts. Just a beautiful view from Hawaii My favorite coffee in Hawaii - an Iced Hawaiian Latte  Snorkeling - during the dolphin swim When in the islands.... my favorite thing! The pier in Waikiki
