Denver Day 1

We left VERY early in the morning on Sunday July 29th! Everything went very smoothly. I traveled with my friend Laura, we signed up to be demos on the same day!!

The flight was good, although we had a very cranky flight attendant which didn't go over too good with me. He was very rude to everyone around me. Then I asked the other attendant for head phones ( they were out of stock with everything). I saw one attendant give a set of head phones to the cranky one and when I asked him for them he said other people already asked. I replied with a stern look and told him I already asked the other attendant for them a long time before. He didn't appreciate that too much, but I did get my headphones!!! Both Laura and I hoped he wasn't on our flight back to Boston!!!

We arrived in Denver on time and went straight to our hotel (The Curtis). It was the "COOL" Hotel according to everyone else. All the floors had a theme. We stayed on the "Big Hair" floor. How did they know what my hair was like in the 80's LOL!!!

The picture above is Laura trying to figure out how to get us in our room! Our keys didn't work, so she called the front desk on her cell phone and all of a sudden the keys worked!!! It was like Onstar for hotels LOL!!!

We had the whole day to do what we wanted. The Convention didn't start until Monday. So, we took a walk up to the 16th Street Mall. This was an outside Mall that ran the length of 16th Street in Downtown Denver. The entire street was only open to pedestrians. It had a FREE shuttle that ran up and down the Street at all times. The street was filled with shops, restaurants, bars, and major retail stores. We had lunch at The Hard Rock Cafe and had dinner at a place called Sams. They had the best fajitas I have had in a while. We did some shopping too! Other than that we unpacked and stamped some swaps for the next day!

Oh I forgot to tell you, the elevator talked to you at every floor! It scared the heck out of me the first time...As I said we were on the Big Hair Floor. Marge Simpson told us "Here we are on the Big Hair Floor". She also told us if the elevator was going up or down. When we came back from dinner, our roommate Lauren had a candy on her pillow!! We didn't have one and couldn't figure out where it came from!! That was it for Day 1...
