Heh... so we're both guilty...
When you do come visit, it should probably be sometime between May and September, so we can get to these lovely lovely natural wonders. In the winter months it gets tricky.
How much vacation do you get? Maybe we could work something out for Entmoot time - you could fly through Denver and we could drive out, then spend five days or so hanging in Colorado.
I get a considerable amount of vacation time each year, though next year's gonna be tight 'cause of the wedding. Cash is a harder problem...but may be a bit easier after I pay Van-sama off in a few months. It isn't a HUGH payment every month, but it adds up!
We'll have to see what we could do! I'd love to visit...
