Thank you, United!



We arrived at DIA at 8:20 last night and made it to our gate with no problems. Juliana needed a tag for her bag and while she was up talking to the agent, she asked, "Is this flight overbooked?" and the agent said, "Yes, actually, it is." Then Juliana said, "We'd be happy to fly tomorrow if you'll hook us up with some fatty free tickets and a room at the Timbers!" (Actually, she didn't say that...we had no idea what the Timbers was.) The agent gave us free tickets to use anywhere, anytime, in the 48 States with no blackout times.

And the Hotel voucher? All we knew was that the hotel was 20 minutes from DIA which seemed like a long ways. We wondered if maybe it like a Motel 6 or something. But it a free night in Denver, so we didn't complain. We hoped in the Shuttle, our free tickets, hotel voucher, and breakfast vouchers in hand, and as we drove into Denver, we saw an incredible lightning storm. Then we arrived at the Timbers. And holy cow - what a pad! If we had found this in St. Paul, we might have rented it!

It was the sweetest hotel digs we've ever been in, and we promptly made ourselves at home.

All in all, it was one more night in Colorado, a great treat and a wonderful way to end our vacation! Love to all the Colorado folks and thanks for a great time at the FC retreat center!

What a great deal! I'm glad Juliana asked about the flight being sold out - gave you a nice night at a nice hotel and the 2 free tix. And you'll be back in Tulsa about the time you would have woken up from the late night arrival last night! Good luck in the next 2 weeks getting all packed up and ready to go. love you.
