Wildflower, I only made 2 short trips within Colorado, and I didn't report on either one. The first was backpacking in an obscure (and beautiful) area, around Sargent's Mesa, near Saguache. We ended it with a trip to Great Sand Dunes and a forgettable night at the Movie Manor in Monte Vista. I think I've written a little about Movie Manor on other posts. The trip to Denver was a driving trip from Durango, just for 2 nights. I attended a 2 day meeting, and my roommate and I managed to get sick and throw up for several hours the first night. We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Denver, which was okay, but nothing special. My trip to Hawaii a few days later was MUCH better!

I had a nice travel year and I want to thank everyone on this board for their help with my travel planning. My trips:
Jan - Washinton D.C. - stayed at the Mayflower, was there mainly for business but also visited the new spy museum and my favorite parts of the Smithsonian.
June - Colorado and Santa Fe - great fun, great food, scenery and weather. Loved Bandelier on a bright sunny day.
August - Fort Lauderdale at the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort. HOT! But I got a nice tan.
October - San Francisco - stayed at the Andrews hotel - OK hotel with great price for location and a great meal at Fino.
Next year - planning on Walt Disney World in Jan and Vegas and Zion in the spring. Keep you posted!

In Feb. I went to Cancun on a business trip with my husband.
In April we took the boys to San Diego for a week.
In May we celebrated our anniversary in Arizona: in the Grand Canyon (Havasu Falls) and Sedona
In July we took the boys to Colorado and Utah.
In Nov. I did a solo trip to NYC and in Dec. I took my oldest son up to NYC to do the Christmas thing.
This was the most travel we've ever done in one year, courtesy of my husband and his FF mile account!
