Life at 9,900 feet

Since Accenture has allowed me to take such a huge step and take a leave for three months, I have decided to create this sweet little blog. I am creating this mostly because I know these next three months will fly by and other than only remembering that I skied a little, I want to make sure I remember as much as possible. I'm not sure how these next couple months will play out or even the next year or two following, but one thing is for sure. This experience is definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Finally made it

After 1812 miles, over 25 hours driving and 85.18 gallons of gas, we finally made it to Breckenridge. Other than me almost hitting a coyote somewhere in the midwest, having to drive through the longest, most boring state, Kansas and driving through Denver rush hour during a snow storm the drive was not that bad.

Of course, the last 2 hours from Denver to Breckenridge was the most interesting. Having to climb over 5,000 feet in 90 miles was not kind to the car. Twenty miles into the drive, the car started to overheat. We had to travel the last 70 miles with the four ways on going 30 miles an hour.

Three days after leaving DC, I finally made it to Breckenridge and the condo that I am living in.
