Hi everyone!! Just got back from Aspen yesterday, and now am trying to force myself to work....obviously that's not going well and I'd rather blog instead :)
The rest of the week was awesome - we had so much fun. Hiking, Fly fishing, eating, drinking, shopping, etc. it was a great vacation...and I managed to get my brother hooked on Top Chef also (thanks Bravo for running that marathon!) so now i have a fellow fan in the house.
Flying to Phoenix on Sunday night...i'm sure it will be relatively uneventful, thankfully.
As for the previous post and my question about Katy's ticket - i must not have explained myself well...oops!! she didn't end up buying a R/T ticket, it was still a 1-way, but it was a 1-way from Aspen to Denver, and then from Denver to San Antonio. so it still wasn't a symmetrical ticket, and it was hundreds of dollars cheaper than buying JUST an Aspen-Denver ticket....just very bizarre and strange, overall!!
Hmm - not much else goign on. Have a work dinner tonight that Cara & Jackie helped plan, so they assure me it will be fun. Then me & Catherine are going camping tomorrow with her dog Otto (leaving her hubby at home). I'll let you all know how that goes :)
that's it - more travel updates next week. i'm going to try not to check a bag to PHX, since we all know how i feel about their apalling baggage claim......

Aspen
hello my loyal readers!
I haven't had much to blog about since I haven't been traveling too much lately, but that will pick up again very soon, dont you worry!! I'm currently in Aspen with the family for a week...we've rented a house and are having a great time so far. lots of eating, walking, shopping, hiking, etc. More adventures to come...
Anyway - here is my airport news....Katy (my sister, for those of you not in the know) has to fly back to San Antonio early for school....so we're trying to figure out how to get her back to teh Denver airport... the rest of the family isn't flying out until 2 days after her... so here are the choices.
1. Katy drives the rental car back to the DEN airport and I drive the rest of the family in my car a few days later.
2. Katy takes a van shuttle from Aspen to the DEN airport
3. Katy buys a 1-way airplane ticket from Aspen to DEN.
Those of you who know Katy wont be surprised to hear that she vetoed #2 in about .5 seconds. So she looked online to see how much a 1-way ticket would cost.
Get this:
To buy a 1-way ticket from Aspen to DEN is like 400 dollars. (the plan was that she'd fly to DEN, then pick up her DEN-SAT leg that she'd already booked).
HOWEVER, to buy a 1-way ticket from Aspen-DEN-SAT is $280 (and she'd get a partial credit back for her orig DEN-SAT leg that she would cancel).
Isn't that crazy? Why does that happen? Why is it cheaper to book all the way through to SA? Anyone know?
Sorry for the boring post - my confirmed travel plans in the next few months include....Phoenix, Baltimore, DC, Delaware, Baltimore (again), Switzerland, Chicago, and 3 Trips to San Antonio. I suspect I'll have to add another 1-2 trips each to Phoenix & Delaware in there.... So there you go...my nice relaxing travel-free lifestyle is quickly coming to an end. Sad for me...but ultimately, more exicting for you guys...since i'll have more tales to tell :)
