My first trip took me from SLC to DIA on UA and then to Golden, Colorado. I was visiting the Coors Ceramics facility to learn about ceramic media for use in a mining application. The engineer I traveled with was very experienced, requested an exit row for me when we checked in for the flight, and took good care of me. Until......
We stayed at the Marriott Hotel in Golden and that night, the fire alarm went off. I was sitting at breakfast the next morning and was asked "Where did you go during the fire alarm last night?" Apparently the hotel was evacuated, the fire department responded, and the all clear was given 90 minutes later. I slept through the whole thing.
