    Category: Airplane
    Getting TO/AROUND: Well to get to Colorado Springs, you can do a few things.
    1. Fly directly in from Dallas or Houston or wherever.
    2. Fly in from Denver.
    3. Bus (Greyhound) from Denver or Pueblo or wherever you are coming from.
    4. Car.
    If you have a car, the streets are pretty straightforward, at least in downtown COS. When you get to some of the side streets, well, that's another story. There is I-25, the expressway (north-south) and a bunch of other major roads going whereever you need to go. Ask me for more details on how to get places if you want!
    COS has a decent bus system, which is fairly clean and which I have some experience with. The station is downtown I think on Nevada Ave., and the buses go pretty much all over the major areas of town, as well as some of the smaller areas.
    Biking is common here, so there are plenty of trails in the area.

     John, the Three Thieves Restaurant is the best steakhouse in town IMHO. Check it out the next time you're there. And in Denver, check out Casa Bonita.
