A Journal, with Pictures

On Fri­day, Sep­tem­ber 28, Joyce and I took off for Col­orado Springs, our first stop on a two- week fly­ing trip. We took off in a driz­zle, but left the rain behind by the time we were over cen­tral Indi­ana. We made a refu­el­ing and lunch stop in Kansas City, MO and then con­tin­ued to Col­orado Springs. Our mis­sion in Col­orado Springs was to check out a poten­tial loca­tion for the Cir­rus Own­ers and Pilots Asso­ci­a­tion con­ven­tion in 2011. We bucked head­winds, but arrived at 3:00 PM due to the time change and toured the facil­i­ties of the Col­orado Jet Cen­ter. We then were off to the Cheyenne Moun­tain Resort, where we toured the prop­er­ty and met with the man­ag­er. Col­orado Springs is a beau­ti­ful loca­tion and we were impressed with the facil­i­ty that includes a golf course, and all the ameni­ties you would expect. There are tons of things to do in the area and we wished we had allot­ted more time. We had din­ner at the resort restau­rant and very much enjoyed our stay. We met the man­ag­er for break­fast in the morn­ing and then head­ed for the air­port to con­tin­ue west.
