[Colorado-Talk] Returning from National Convention and Curbside Pickup with Rideshare

[Dan Burke]

This is at best a temporary solution. But to be honest, I didn't even
consider it as more trouble than I wanted to deal with.

To be fair, the airport had a staff person out on the sidewalk at Door
510 who informed of us the option. When I said we'd just go to Island
5, the staff person kindly walked out there with us. So it came to an
equivalent accommodation.
