This morning, Tim dropped me off at the Landline shuttle stop at Northern Colorado Regional Airport for the hour-drive to Denver International Airport. There, I caught my flight to Brussels, where I will begin my two back-to-back river cruises from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Yes, I used the singular “I.” I will be traveling solo since Tim made the decision some time ago to stay behind and take a class and attend a conference, among other things. Although I will miss him, I have no issues with traveling by myself.
I first flew from Denver to Chicago, where I had planned a several-hour layover to account for any possible delays. The plane was completely full, and I was so happy that I had been able to use airline miles to fly first class. It was much more peaceful there! |

On our approach to Chicago, I caught a glimpse of the downtown
skyline. That’s one reason I typically
prefer window seats.

My flight from Chicago to Brussels in United Polaris business class gave me access to the Polaris Lounge in Chicago. This was quite a step-up from the regular United lounges, and I enjoyed my time there. |

Next up was the flight from Chicago to Brussels. I’ve become so spoiled by the lie-flat seats in Polaris class, and that feature makes a long flight bearable for me. The service is always great, but my priority is typically to lie down as soon as possible to try and sleep, which is exactly what I did.
