We flew into Anchorage very late on Sunday night, and checked into the EconoLodge near the airport. When we got up, we looked out the window to see nothing but the side of another building only a fe...http://denver.yourhub.com/Aurora/Blogs/Archive/Travel/Blog~648972.aspx8/22/2009 3:55:09 PMDeloris DeLapp We returned again to New Mexico at the beginning of March, hoping to enjoy spring weather a little earlier than in Colorado . This time we headed farther south to Carlsbad . The drive down wasn't too bad, except for the strong winds. We passed one wind farm along the way, but they ...http://denver.yourhub.com/Aurora/Blogs/Archive/Travel/Blog~605310.aspx4/18/2009 2:27:49 PMDeloris DeLapp One of the many pleasant memories that I have of my first trip to Germany as a college student in 1970 & my year in Austria as a teaching assistant in 1979/80 was the Christmas season. The atmosphere was so different from that in the United States . In many ways it was quieter...http://denver.yourhub.com/Aurora/Blogs/Archive/Travel/Blog~578445.aspx2/9/2009 4:45:54 PMDeloris DeLapp When we started our stay in Breckenridge, we were afraid that we were going to be a bit early to truly enjoy the fall foliage. The aspens were still pretty green. We checked into the Grand Timber Lodge late Sunday afternoon, and enjoyed a light supper at the restaurant attached to the lodge. ...http://denver.yourhub.com/Aurora/Blogs/Archive/Travel/Blog~551520.aspx11/23/2008 1:48:21 PMDeloris DeLapp This summer's adventures involved trips into our pasts. We started off in May with the celebration of my cousin's 80th birthday in Pueblo . And then we attended the retirement of three former colleagues ( Monica Ashby , Ellis Northcut and Gary Sleap ) from Hinkley High Scho...http://denver.yourhub.com/Aurora/Blogs/Archive/Travel/Blog~528472.aspx10/1/2008 3:49:59 PMDeloris DeLapp After making a rather slow recovery from our trip to China , we finally found the time & energy to try a shorter trip to the Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico . I had visited this area back in the '70s with a friend from high school, Ann Rasor , who...http://denver.yourhub.com/Aurora/Blogs/Archive/Travel/Blog~479568.aspx6/4/2008 11:47:40 AMDeloris DeLapp "China in winter! Deloris, are you sure you want to do this?" This is what a lot of people said to me when I told them that Bob & I were going to China in January. I will admit that is was cold. The lows in Colorado during the time of our trip were the highs on good days in the areas of Chin...http://denver.yourhub.com/Aurora/Blogs/Archive/Travel/Blog~434885.aspx2/28/2008 1:29:56 PMDeloris DeLapp Fall colors are elusive and seeing them in full array takes good timing. Our first fall trip was back to Kebler Pass. We probably were one week too early for the best display but were rewarded with the sighting of a bull moose near the top of the pass & a brown bear cub scurrying across the ...http://denver.yourhub.com/Aurora/Blogs/Archive/Travel/Blog~393779.aspx11/18/2007 10:12:19 PMDeloris DeLapp As a retired person, one of the things you do in the spring is to attend the retirement parties of your former colleagues. Since the trip to Durango, I celebrated the retirement of Charlie Morrison , Glenda Leader and Priscilla Schnell . All have had a major impact on the lives of stud...http://denver.yourhub.com/Aurora/Blogs/Archive/Travel/Blog~355464.aspx8/30/2007 4:58:12 PMDeloris DeLapp It has taken me a while to get back to my blog of adventures. Since our trip in January, I've had surgery to repair damage on the shoulder that I dislocated in August. That plus my commitments with my church, the Aurora Corps of the Salvation Army, have kept my husband and me pretty close to hom...http://denver.yourhub.com/Aurora/Blogs/Archive/Travel/Blog~315529.aspx5/30/2007 4:20:53 PMDeloris DeLapp My first entry for this blog will be to summarize the last two and a half years, since my retirement. Then I will keep up-dating with my adventures as they happen. The first year was probably the hardest as far as adjusting to no schedules. However, I truly enjoyed not having to be up at 5a....http://denver.yourhub.com/Aurora/Blogs/Archive/Travel/Blog~254682.aspx2/23/2007 1:57:21 PMDeloris DeLapp
