Summer/Fall Travel Destinations – Aspen, Colorado

Why choose Aspen as a vacation destination? I wouldn’t! Nope! Me, I would travel and stay at Snowmass Village. With only 7 miles between Aspen and Snowmass, you can enjoy the ambiance of Aspen but you will be staying in an absolutely delightful pure mountain village.

The middle of August until the end of September is the best time to be in Colorado as the aspen trees will have begun to change, the days are warm in the sun but cool in the shade and the star filled skies at night are absolutely clear – perfect for a light jacket and a walk down the main street of Snowmass Village. If you prefer a more upbeat night life, go to downtown Aspen and the clubs, restaurants and bars will be open – you can party with the local folks who live there year round. The prices and discounts are still at off season rates. There are no big crowds of celebrities being snow bunnies on the slopes, no crowds out at night. You might even be able to enjoy a lunch in an outside cafe and not have to wait for a table. Hey people you can’t beat that! (Oh but I can!)

Independence Pass will still be open so you must schedule some time to drive to the top. Independence Pass is one of the highest paved roads in North America but is closed during the winter, because of the snow and hairpin curves. The view at the top of the Continental Divide is some thing breathtaking. From the top, going downhill, on Highway 82 towards Aspen, are hidden campgrounds with only 10 to 12 spaces. So if you are into camping, there is one hidden across from the trail head for the hike to Maroon Bells. What – no one has told you about Maroon Bells?

Maroon Bells is a mountain range with the middle mountains forming a perfect V which is reflected in the most perfect lake at the foot of Maroon Bells – a photographer’s dream because mere words can not be found to describe it! So, grab your camera and take a day hike to Maroon Bells, but don’t tell anyone about the camping site – shhhhh – our secret!

Do you know where the best gliding air is in the US during late summer and fall? Between Aspen and Snowmass. Glider pilots to take you up can be found at the airport. And when they cut the engines off, sometimes you can glide around for 30 minutes and just listen to the sound of silence!

There is one more activity that you might want to consider but it closes sometime in September. A van will take you 40 miles to Glenwoods Springs to go on a day trip of white water rafting, complete with a chicken box lunch at noon. You will get wet and you will get sunburned, so take necessary precautions.

Now, if my vacation is too much excitement for you city people – there is still the balloon rides, exploring trails on horseback, golf and music festivals. But for me – Maroon Bells, glider planes and white water rafting makes this area of Colorado truly God’s country!

Documents Need To Travel Out Of Country

To ensure your trip goes smoothly, you will want to have in your possession when traveling all proper identification and government-issued documentation for entry or re-entry from the destination you are traveling to or returning from.

Please be sure to visit http://travel.state.gov/ for full clarification regarding proof of foreign and domestic residential re-entry, travel rights and documentations.

Under the Western HemisphereTravel Initiative (WHTI), the proposed implementation timeline has two phases:

Beginning January 23, 2007, ALL persons, including U.S. citizens, traveling by air between the United States and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda will be required to present a valid passport, Air NEXUS card, or U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Document, or an Alien Registration Card, Form I-551, if applicable.

As early as January 1, 2008, ALL persons, including U.S. citizens, traveling between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda by land or sea (including ferries), may be required to present a valid passport or other documents as determined by the Department of Homeland Security. While recent legislative changes permit a later deadline, the Departments of State and Homeland Security are working to meet all requirements as soon as possible. Ample advance notice will be provided to enable the public to obtain passports or passport cards for land/sea entries.

The passport requirement does NOT apply to U.S. citizens traveling to or returning directly from a U.S. territory. U.S. citizens returning directly from a U.S. territory are not considered to have left the United States and do not need to present a passport. U.S. territories include the following: Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Swains Island, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

Travel Documents for U.S. Citizens Under WHTI (please visit the above website for full details, updates and policies.)

Under the proposed implementation plan, the following documents will be acceptable to fulfill document requirements:

U.S. Passport: U.S. citizens may present a valid U.S. passport when traveling via air between the United States and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda, and may also use a U.S. passport when traveling via sea and land borders (including ferry crossings).

The Passport Card (also referred to as the PASS Card): This limited-use passport in card format is currently under development and will be available for use for travel only via land or sea (including ferries) between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. Similar in size to a credit card, it will fit easily into a wallet.

DOS and DHS also anticipate that the following documents will continue to be acceptable for their current travel uses under WHTI: SENTRI, NEXUS, FAST, and the U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Document. As proposed, members of the U.S. Armed Forces on active duty traveling on orders will continue to be exempt from the passport requirement.

Background

The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 requires the Department of Homeland Security and Department of State to develop and implement a plan to require all travelers, U.S. citizens and foreign nationals alike, to present a passport or other document, or a combination of documents, that denote identity and citizenship when entering the United States. Congress amended portions of the Act in 2006. The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative is the Administration’s proposed plan to implement this mandate.

The goal of the Initiative is to strengthen border security and facilitate entry into the United States for U.S. citizens and legitimate foreign visitors by providing standardized, secure and reliable documentation which will allow the Department of Homeland Security to quickly, reliably and accurately identify a traveler.

Travel For Less

I love to travel – so what is the best job I could find that would allow me to do that? I didn’t want to be a travel agent – too much training and you have to get certification. But, to be a Travel Savings Specialist – you just show others how to save money. So, yesterday I signed on to Worldwide Travel Savings.com and I now work for them. So the next time you are planning a trip – whether business or a family get away, I hope you will use this link and try our site – you will not be sorry.

Somewhere I read the quote, “Do what you love, and the money will come.” So all of February I have been writing, doing photography and now I am adding travel. You see, I do have a business plan – and now I only have one more piece to add. Then we’ll see what happens.

My photo blog has been picked up in syndication by the largest blog reader feed on the internet. What does that mean – a lot more traffic for me!

I have added some links to this blog and I encourage you to visit these site. Especially my good friends at OBGYN.net the largest women’s health care informational website in the world. A ton of great information. I have decide that this blog is going to share with my readers the finest things in life – and OBGYN.net is one of those finest things.

Until we meet again – stay safe.
