Staying Happy in Downtown Denver at The Curtis Hotel
After I had my Thoracic Outlet Syndrome surgery in Denver, Colorado I needed a place to stay to recover and feel at home. After researching Denver for unique hotels I decided to stay at The Curtis in downtown for 5 nights. When I look for a hotel to stay in I tend to prefer a hotel with modern decor, personality, originality, good location, and free wifi. I also like to
SA 34: The search for the Macbook Pro powercord begins…
Today I awoke after sleeping in a long time… I was tired and it was nice to have a REAL BED! After taking my sweet-ass time to get up, I went to turn-on my laptop to check e-mails and make sure everything was good with work and what not when my laptop decided to stop working. I called in to Apple support and paid $50 to hear them tell me

I was agitated because I wanted to leave early before the afternoon rains. There was a toucan hanging out near camp. I took some photos of it in the tree and then it swept down towards
SA 29: Ciudad Perdida Day 1 – The beginning of eternal rain
This morning I woke up at 6:00 am to get my things ready for the Ciudad Perdida trek. I packed up my large camera, clothes, toiletries, and a few other odd things I would need in my large backpack to take with me and put everything else in a large garbage back to put into storage at the hostel. I then waited outside the hostel with the two Irish boys
