I remember reading about your move to California 5 years ago, so it was nice to read this return to Colorado; I really enjoyed the blog format of this report and following along on your house-hunting journey, including the road trip images and those of your apartment.

I wonder how long UA plan to keep their 757 fleet, now that AA have retired theirs? They certainly look rather retro on the inside, but great that you have the chance to fly them regularly still; we no longer have that joy in Europe. The less said about UA and particularly DL’s inflight catering the better - and that AA Flagship First service is dreadful!

I wasn’t aware that you could use domestic lounges as arrivals lounges in the US; the Amex Centurion lounge in Concourse C at DEN looks pretty smart - the catering notably so for a domestic lounge. It was nice to see AA Flagship First Dining make an appearance towards the end of the report!

The JW Marriott seems a little bland, and there’s no excuse for the cleanliness failures. Removing useful items from the room and reducing housekeeping is not really on for a 5-star property. The properties you stayed in along the road from California to Colorado all looked reasonable for what they were.

Thanks as always for sharing, and looking forward to the remainder of this read - and hopefully seeing your new house!
