We had great adventures in Vail, Colorado! I went with Ken, my BF, for 6 days. Is it weird to sit at a bar hooked up to oxygen and drink wine at the same time?!? It felt strange at the time, but also really kinda fun! Especially after a gorgeous hike to the top of Bald Mountain!
Our hotel was in the center of town in Vail. We stayed in the Sonnenalp resort and it was gorgeous! The backyard is really the best part with indoor and outdoor hot tubs, an indoor-outdoor swimming pool right on the river that ran through the town of Vail. Hiking in such a high elevation really does take a toll on you. The Sonnenalp had a very cool oxygen bar right in the spa.
The was an inspirato.com trip (my luxury travel club) and we stayed at https://sonnenalp.com/

Here is a spreadsheet I’m keeping about the costs of these trips if I wasn’t using Inspirato to stay in these luxury properties.

Hotel: The hotel's internet was excellent. Also, I used my phone hotspot with no problems around town.
Work
I saw a handful of clients while I was there and did a lot of work on my new billing course for Virtual Assistants. If you know a VA that wants to learn billing here’s the link to the waitlist. https://www.subscribepage.com/vabillingcoursewaitlist
I worked from a huge closet in the room on an ironing board. 
Licensing Issues
Not an issue this trip, but, I did do my due diligence and checked with Colorado, just in case. Colorado allows me to practice in their state while seeing Virginia clients.

Restaurant Recommendations
We found quite a few great restaurants by using my Find Me Gluten Free app (due to my celiac disease). I would recommend El Segundo, Bully Ranch, Alpine Rose
Slope room, Moe’s barbecue in Lions Head,
Ludwig’s breakfast. Inspirato has a lounge in town with a free happy hour with drinks, snacks and a business center.
Lowlights
~the altitude made it tougher to hike
~the Gondola rides did not run during the week only on the weekends so we weren’t able to partake.
Tips and tricks.
I used miles from this credit card and my round trip flight and baggage were free.
