Denver Layover Shenanigans

If you tend to follow me on social media, then you know a bit of the commute I had to encounter to get to California this trip. One of my greatest trips to day, motivated me to get more things done.

Just want to give a simple overview, just because I am so over having to explain the wild situation. So I was due to fly out Tuesday night (14th) to San Diego, my airline cancelled it and proceed to tell me I will not be able to fly into San Diego until Saturday (18th, I fly back home 20th). That clearly was not an option for me, I had meetings to attend and people to collaborate with. Anyway, I then ask them how fast can they just get me to California, I'll figure the rest out. They end up giving me the option of traveling from 230pm Wednesday 15th, until 11am Thursday (16th) . Even though it was not in the planner, it was a trip that needed to be taken. 

Have my ticket; fly into Cincinnati, from Cincinnati to Denver. In Denver I have about a 12 hour layover. Now you all know I am a total traveler; no way in hell I could fathom being in another city for over 10 hours and not explore. So I did just that; talked a bit with Rodney, a first time flyer I met on my flight. We were exchanging ideas and views before we went our separate ways and I made it to a lyft.

My Lyft takes me to a cool place called Urban Sombrero; there I am just ready for food and a drink. Right when I arrive I am greeted by a lovely young lady who lets me know where to sit. Next comes my sweet and fast waitress Jade; she was great. She even offered me a stronger drink after hearing the travel mission that needed to happen. They brought me chips and salsa to start me off, complimentary. Then I ordered something light, fries with carne asada (steak strips) as toppings. Best way to explain this great snack would be nacho fries, without the chips. They had black beans and corn added, a little color with veggies and cheese and even added the sour cream right up top. This would be a great start to your meal, they have a nice variety of appetizers and meals. This is their only location; I loved that the bosses were at the location casually blending in with their customers. My meal was under $20. This is a place you can comfortably come with $15-$20 and leave full and tipsy for sure. They have lots of happy hour options too, always have a section for the budget Bob's and Bettys.

I hope that ya'll pop in on them when in Denver. I am a sucker for good, affordable food with great service. Also hope ya'll learn from my long travel scenario. It's all about what you make of it. The easiest thing for me to do was stay in that airport a mope about something I had no control over. Instead I worked towrds something I had control over, leaving the airport, talking to people, networking and taking naps. God is good, and I will continue to work for him and my future success. Remember to always love and allow to be loved. Xo
