Location: Terminal at Undisclosed Location in Qatar (you military people can laugh at that)
Destination: Denver, CO USA!
Arrival Time: 5 pm Thursday 27 October (If none of the planes break--not holding my breath)
Elk/deer season opener: 4 November
It's a cool 90 degrees with a touch of humidity here today compared to 120 not very long ago. My wife told me the Denver forecaster is predicting 6-8" of snow tonight. Wow! I'm really looking forward to hunting soon but just hope I don't freeze to death.
So, we missed our first anniversary this week, the 23rd. During this deployment, I lucked out and spent about 4 months in Jordan, made a nice chunk of change and stayed in the Grand Hyatt hotel where I became a "Diamond Member". That meant that I got free drinks and food in the evening...not a bad deal.
Well, I didn't realize it but I also accumulated 120,000 reward points that equal almost a months worth of stays for free at other Hyatt hotels in the states and around the world. Pretty cool! I just booked a really nice room for the Grand Hyatt near the 16th street mall, downtown Denver for Friday night. I was planning to take the kids and her to a pumpking patch/maze/hayride on Sunday but may have to rethink that if it's gonna be really cold.
One day next week, I'll have to get 3 rifles sighted in and then get the vehicles packed for the mountains. So much to do, but can't wait to do it!
