The journey begins

I arrived at the airport early to insure my breezy departure only to discover an enlarged line of people at the United counter. :( No worries though, things were moving quickly. For those of you who may have had the pleasure of traveling with me before you know that I am not one for under packing so picking up my bags and putting them on the scale is like judgment day every time I fly. This time my suitcase was 62lbs and my camping backpack......35lbs!!! Sweet! So I spent some time transferring things and getting the bags to the desired distribution of weight. whew! All done :) So now here I sit at Denver International Airport waiting for leg one of my journey...
