Howdy y'all!!

Just a quick update this time, its 11.30 in the morning here, and we are just about to check out of our hotel in Denver, and get the bus up to boulder, which is up in the mountains more, so should be cool! We have 5 days there- staying at the New West Inns- looks ok, and was really cheap!! Denver has been good- nice and hot, we had a picnic by a little stream yesterday, which was lovely!
We have also been quite productive on the booking front, we have flights booked from Boulder to Rapid City, where we are staying 5 days there, to explore the Black Hills, and to see Mount Rushmore, then we fly to Bozeman, Montana, to see Yellowstone- we actually have to fly back to Denver, then on from there, as there are no direct flights, which is a bit of a pain! There is a bus, but it takes 11hrs, and arrives at 4am! and was only $30 cheaper than flying! so we went for the flights!
We have a room booked in a hostel in Bozeman for 2 nights, then are going to head into Yellowstone, and probably camp for a few nights if we can! But the nice thing is transportation and accomodation is all booked for the next week or so, which makes it a bit more relaxing!!
Good to hear all is well at home, and the life in PINS is so thrilling you are not jealous in any way (Laurie!!) I hear there has been a wedding and a pregnancy (not the same person!) so it sounds like things are happening back there too!!
Best go now, off to explore the mountains!!

Have a nice day!
