I totally dig the State of Colorado.<\/p>\n

It is worthy.<\/p>\n

Likewise, I absolutely love the City of Denver.<\/p>\n

Very Book.<\/p>\n

However, when it comes to the Denver International Airport (DEN) \u2026<\/p>\n

I am so not a fan.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the people there that have caused my disdain,<\/p>\n

They are always pleasant as one could be in such an environment.<\/p>\n

Likewise, it\u2019s not the John Holmes, phreakishly long lines at the security checkpoint.<\/p>\n

Nope.<\/p>\n

Annoying, yes, but they move faster than one would expect.<\/p>\n

(Tip – if you are flying Frontier out of A Terminal, take the Bridge to A, the wait for security there is not bad at all.)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not even the irksome flight schedules one has to deal with when flying home on a west to east trajectory which require you to be at DEN for an early flight shortly after the bars close the previous day,<\/p>\n

Or for the late flight,<\/p>\n

A few minutes before midnight the next day.<\/p>\n

Heck, one would think I would love DEN because of the whole alien conspiracy story<\/a> thing it has going,<\/p>\n

Not to mention the civic pride I have because it was my hometown peeps that were brought in to solve their original baggage delivery system dork-up when the airport was first built.<\/p>\n

Yay Hometown.<\/p>\n

I do concede,<\/p>\n

A little bit of my issue with DEN is because I think associating it with Denver is a bit misleading considering it was built so far from Denver that it is actually in Utah.<\/p>\n

Seriously. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Though I do suspect the real source for the sore spot I have for DEN is because of the fake Rocky Mountain snow tops positioned above the terminal,<\/p>\n

And parking lots,<\/p>\n

And exit gates,<\/p>\n

Right behind Blucifer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For some reason,<\/p>\n

Whenever I see them \u2026<\/p>\n

I get annoyed.<\/p>\n

It might be because when I do see them \u2026<\/p>\n

The first thing I think of is \u2026<\/p>\n

Circus tent.<\/p>\n

Which does not inspire aviation confidence in one,<\/p>\n

At least not in this one.<\/p>\n

Weird,<\/p>\n

I know.<\/p>\n

*shrug*<\/p>\n

However,<\/p>\n

I mention this because \u2026<\/p>\n

The gods of Irony still do like to amuse themselves with the comings and goings in my life,<\/p>\n

As I have spent more time in DEN waiting for flights,<\/p>\n

Than\u00a0 I have in every other airport of the world \u2026<\/p>\n

Combined.<\/p>\n

\"Amy<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Amy<\/a><\/p>\n

And soon,<\/p>\n

I will once again be spending a bunch of time in DEN,<\/p>\n

Waiting for the late flight which leaves a few minutes before midnight the next day,<\/p>\n

Because,<\/p>\n

My friend TroopLeader and I are meeting up at DEN,<\/p>\n

Tripping to Estes Park, Colorado,<\/p>\n

And going ghost hunting at The Stanley Hotel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yikes !!!<\/p>\n

(I\u2019m a complete wimp when it comes to such things, so I\u2019m betting that I will end up spending every night sleeping in the rental car,\u00a0too scared to stay in any of the rooms there.)<\/p>\n

Though considering I\u2019m going to be spending upwards of a day again at DEN in the near future,<\/p>\n

At least\u00a0Amynews.com<\/a> will be getting some love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
