Well, we arrived back in the UK today, back to normal sea level and rainy old Warrington!Mum found the few days in Denver really good. There were lots of warnings about the altitude, and it was good advice to follow. Walking up a hill with a minor incline left Mum breathless!!
The conference went well ... although during Mum's presentation there was a blackout, and she had to start it all over again! Who does that happen to?? Ah well, it did win her the "Lights Out" award for a show stopping presentation!
There was sooo so much food ... don't know if it was because it was a conference, or if it was because it was just America. Tell you what though, the Americans can be a lazy bunch ... even all the toilets, hand basins and towel dispensers were automated, as was the ATM (see photo). We were driven to the shopping centre, because we were told it was a 40 minute walk - we only think she thought that because she had never walked it before - reality was about 15 minutes!
It was all over quickly, and back home. All the UK travellers weren't happy with Mum because she got to fly business class - oh it was nice! Got about 5 hours sleep on the way back, and hasn't felt too jet-lagged. Then in Heathrow she went for a shower, some (more) breakfast and then a facial - lovely. Tried to make the most of it, as it may be the first and last time ever travelling business class!
Adam and Ann Marie arrive tonight - will be good to catch up with fold from Australia!
