Things to do in Denver when you're dead (tired)
I have a meeting tomorrow (today, if you want to be technical) in Denver - flew in tonight with a coworker from Seattle and met up with a coworker from SF. I almost didn't go - I spent a good portion of last night worshiping the porcelain god for reasons which are a complete mystery.
I haven't been to Denver in many years - and not since the new airport opened. Holy crap.
It's huge.
There's a 10 mile access road just to get to the airport from the freeway. That means cab rides start at $30, just to get out of the airport!
Our SF compatriot's flight was delayed, so rather than hang around the airport, we got the rental car and grabbed some food at the closest Outback (itself an adventure, involving us driving around Aurora, CO for 15 minutes trying to find a building we saw clearly from said access road, and including a brief stint of off-roading in the rented Ford Escape).
Time to go to sleep, fortunately the meeting isn't 'till 10:30 - so I've got an 8am wake up call, meet my fellow travelers for breakfast in the lobby at 9, and wander off in time for the meeting.
