01 - Getting There

What better way to start a trip than a trip to the Airport Bar. Shane hasn't been this happy since he had to fill one of those glasses up for his doctor.

The great thing about the airport bar is you can spy on the terminal where your plane is expected to show up... allowing you maximum drinking time before boarding your flight.

mmm, mmm, good

The airbus finally arrives.

Not sure if you can see it, but one of the airport slackers is actually sleeping inside the cargo bay of the airbus.

Shane isn't book-smart. He's magazine-smart.

Just in case you haven't been in an airplane before... this is the crapper. Please note the SMALL size of the bathroom... if you're a fattie you better plan on holding it, or get yourself some Depends™.

CIMG5354

Well... looks like I'm going to have to hold it... or test to see if those Depends™ drip-proof elasti-guards are all they're cracked up to be.

Shane doesn't drink to look cool (please note his non-coolness regardless of holding a very adult beverage). Rather, Shane drinks so people like him more. And it works... 'cause after a few of those, when he falls asleep everyone will like him a LOT more.

Jumbotron screens they are not. I think the in-seat phone screen is bigger than those overhead TVs. Oh well... just like with regular TV there's nothing good on anyway.

Once we land in Denver we (and when I say "we" I mean "SHANE") discovers that "we've" lost "our" boarding pass for our connecting flight. How in the world do you lose your boarding pass on a plane? You're 35,000 ft. in the air... where is it going to go? Well, I guess if we solve that one we'll understand how hijackers get guns onto planes.

Fine dining in Denver's airport. I got the fries and the buger... Shane got the toy.

Another location... another drink. Here we see a photo of Mr. Clean's evil twin, Mr. Slacker.

Just in case we weren't feeling comfortable enough with airplane safety, they wisk us off to a small prop-jet for our trip from Denver to Steamboat Springs.

Here you see a view from the back row of the plane. Please note: they don't serve drinks on these little "hopper" planes... so pack a flask!
