Hi everyone.long time
Very recent flight experience Brisbane - Denver
outgoing flight details:
check in Brisbane,check in LAX,check out internal flight LAX to Denver
I took my hammer and new silicone turbo tube from Alan of HI( thanks dude
![Big Grin :D :D](/i/s/biggrin.gif)
) in my check in luggage.no issues at all.a 100ml of cologne opened in my check in bag on the flight from Brisbane to LAX
![Uh Oh! :uhoh: :uhoh:](/i/s/uhoh.gif)
which worried me a little for the TSA check for the internal flight from out to Denver..the bag kinda reeked a little of cologne in the check in queue but there were no issues.

At the LAX - Denver check in I noticed all bags travel from the check in desk on a belt to a checking room off to one side.I could see the operatives going over bags as i waited by the toilets.
I had 2 visits by dogs.one at Brisbane waiting in queue with my check in luggage and again in the internal
LAX-Denver check in queue with my cologne infused luggage.no issues.the canines went right over our bags.
My hammer had been used a dozen or so times before my vacation.
about the hammer,it works but the flame is not firing so well in mile high city....but it works when needed.I am using a hello neighbour blow through (looks like a chapstick/lipbalm) air freshener on exhale in hotel rooms no issues.really handy piece of kit for travelling and works well to disguise the sticky icky smells.i picked up two eights so far,a blue dream and Cinderella and a monkey bar.
My plan was to travel by hire car to Seattle from Denver but I am reading about paranoid troopers in surrounding states clamping down and conducting searches in Idaho,Wyoming and Utah so I've decided to enjoy Colorado and if desired to fly into Seattle and maybe travel down to Oregon before going home.
I guess Idaho,Wyoming and Utah aren t interested in my dollars so I'm quite happy to spend it here in Colorado
![Thumbs Up :tup: :tup:](/i/s/tup.gif)
.Its a shame.Ive been enjoying lots of shopping in Denver and will need extra suitcases for the journey back.It seems prohibition and the old ways suit some people,each to their own.
I wanted to add my experiences of Denver briefly.I'm staying downtown.ID is needed at every dispensary i visited.The dispensaries off 16th are upmarket professional and well run.I visited river rock north outta town.again very nice professional people.the tender took time out with Us explaining how everything worked.The recreational experiment in Colorado is being conducted slowly and concisely one step at a time and thats what I am experiencing.
I ve made a point to let people we meet in Denver know we flew in especially to spend our dollars and enjoy our vacation here.there is surprise from locals.Gee why here ?
Also speaking to people here many of whom don't consume,the consensus is business is booming.There is a knock on effect happening in every industry.house prices are going up,crime is going down.Out and about You dont notice anything unusual or untoward.i avoid nuisance mostly and haven t experienced that here at all.the taxi driver mentioned the place feels calmer.Denver definitely has a nice buzz to it and has all those nice old Civic buildings and lots to explore museums galleries etc..there are also a few quality parks in town to chill and enjoy picnics.
Colorado springs next.spreading FC love to You peeps and to the folks here in business in Denver.
