Episode1:NYC------->Denver
How did the week end start??
Well actually it started early. Thursday evening, it's already the week end. As we were still in Montréal the previous Monday, it means we had worked only 3 days that week. That's really nice!
So thursday evening was spent buying energetic food and packing: comparing who has the heaviest backpack, and going with emotion through all our new mountain that we had never tried yet...
Friday morning: early alarm clock at 6am, we need to take off by 9am and fortunately I had the great idea of calling for a private car to drive us there. 35min adn 30$ later we are at LaGuardia. What a luxury, but it feels so comfortable!
First problem: the people at Frontier Airlines don't allow us to take the trekking poles in the cabin. We have to stuff them in the bags in a way or another... Grrr... The woman at the check in desk want to discuss or make an effort.... I had been used to the top quality American customer service and I feel very disapointed... Is this why I dropped my pack and poles on her??? ;-) No, I'm not so mean, it was actually because of my legendary clumsiness and fatigue at the early hours of the day. Anyway she didn't get hurt ;-)
Then 3,5 hours of a pleasant flight, with private screen TV for free for the first hour, and a light meal.
The airline planes look very nice, with their slogan beign "a whole different animal", which means the aircrafts' tails are painted with wild animals...

Arrival in Denver!! The mile-high city!!
It's very warm, and we can see the Colorado front range from the airport. That's really cool. Hu hu, these mountains are still very snowy...

As promised, after a long line at Budget's, we get our economy car. 15$ per day, fine, ok... "What do you want, we have a Ford Focus or a Cobalt?" --"Mmmh I don't know" -- "Take the Cobalt, it's a bit sportier" --- "Ok, then we 'll see"...
5 min later: Hey look Elise, that's our car: red flashy sport car 145Hpw (CV en français), and it's the cheapest they have!!!
Héhéhé, je suis le roi de la route...
We'll see what happens in the next post...
Our splendid Chevy Cobalt! :-)
PS: Benoît (my brother, for those who didn't know) arrived in New York today. He's gonna stay for 2 months as a photograph intern! We'll be seeing him making stupid faces on the pictures. :-)
