The Night Before

This is not exactly our Newark view

Greetings from lovely Newark, New Jersey -- well, the Newark airport Ramada hotel -- on this Monday night. Our first flight on the way out to Denver leaves in 7 hours, but the plus side is we'll arrive in the Rockies at 9 AM Mountain Time and have a full day ahead of us.

We'll need to hit the ground running tomorrow, considering the airport that serves Denver may as well be in another hemisphere from the city itself, 24 miles away. We'll have to claim our one checked suitcase before taking a cab to pick up the camping equipment we rented and our rental car in downtown Denver. The rest of the day will be spent traversing the majestic Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, before we make it to our first stop of the trip in Fort Collins.

Our whole itinerary can be found here, and we're looking forward to getting the trip off to a great start tomorrow in Colorado. We're going to fire up the GoPro and hopefully get some good footage along the way.

Here's a fitting tune to close out this post. Looking forward to writing from the mountains tomorrow!
