Colorado Springs, CO (2005-11-11)
Reni: Marc, why don't you come visit us in Colorado?
Marc: surely!
Reni: Don't call me surely
Marc: Done! Pick me up on the 11th.
While I was in California I decided to visit Reni, David, the little boy, and the big mountain. Logic says I should
change my return ticket from SJC-PHL to SJC-DEN-PHL, but Northwest says no way unless you buy another, seperate ticket. As it
turns out a new one costed more than going back to PHL, waiting 12 hours, and leaving the next day on Continental. So,
I just got another ticket from PHL, more miles!
It was a fun visit, I spent lots of time with the Kilo Niner too. We had grilled steak almost every day which was great (but
not according to my heart). We ate at that airplane restaurant near COS too, the one with a converted military plane. And I
got to sit in the cockpit pretending I know how to fly a plane! Oh wait?
Like every visit, there were some F/A-18s flying
over Reni's place! Possibly some other jets, it's hard to keep track of it all when you're also watching the Military Channel.

| There was about 15 people on this flight from CLE-PHL... and it was a 737-800 according to the
safety information sheet I borrowed. | US Airways new livery. I like it! |

| Coming out of Starbucks in the morning, I thought this was funny for some immature reason...
Carolina Girl in Colorado loves her Weiner. And it's been a while since I have seen a Mervyns! | Driving past Colorado Springs airport we spotted a 747 which is unusual. So I took a couple
shots. It owned by General Electric, and it is used to test new engines. I couldn't see the right side
of the plane but perhaps it is testing the new 787 Dreamliner engine. You can see another shot of it
here testing the GE90 engine on the left wing. |

| Downtown Chicago, which looks pathetic without Meigs Field :-( |

 |
| Crappy looking day in Philly. This is that bridge for route 322 that goes to another great state... New Jersey. | Downtown Cleveland - on final approach to KCLE (Next 1). |

| Chicago Midway airport - KMDW | Pikes Peak |

| Indian boy | Isn't it your bed time little boy? So what if it's 7AM. |

| Somewhere between CLE and PHL | Yeah, I know why you're smiling! |
