Yahoo! We're in the World Series!! It is still hard to realize that such a short time ago the Rockies were written off for the season. The World Series comes to Denver, how great is that? When the Rockies came to Denver in 1993, it was part of an overall regional boom. Hopefully the fantastic season they are having will have some psychological spinoff for the region as well.
Enough baseball talk though. Having just come back from a great vacation, it reminded me of how good our regional transportation options are. Denver International Airport, after some serious problems when it first opened, has become quite an efficient place. Coming home, our luggage was already on the carousel by the time we got to baggage claim, quite amazing when you consider how large the place is. And from the Springs, it is only about 1 hour and 15 minutes from where we are in Briargate. Non stop flights are available to almost anywhere, and with low cost carriers such as Frontier and Southwest you can even go for a decent price. And let's not forget that Denver is also a United hub, and TED is their low cost option as well.
Colorado Springs airport is also very easy and convenient, and has nonstop service to many places, with only one stop usually to get to anywhere else. Express Jet now services some west coast destinations from the Springs as well, with low cost non-stop service to San Diego, Ontario and Sacramento.
Just another thing that makes living here great. When you need to be somewhere else, you can get there fairly quickly!
