Nah. I'll be happy to tell you. It's all of these factors together:
1. Most of my previous trips to Denver were for family events that now happen in Florida instead (in fact I'm going to Florida next month on a trip that would surely have been Colorado a decade ago).
2. I have a wife and kid now, so flying somewhere generally requires 3 tickets instead of one.
3. I can fly to Europe for roughly the same cost as flying to Denver*, and, uh, I'd rather vacation in Paris. (Although I will admit that I didn't know Frontier tickets were that cheap; I can't get to Europe for
that little.)
At this point in my life, absent a grandparent funeral, general curiosity is just about the only reason for me to go to Denver, and that's not enough unless I lucked into a super cheap flight deal. Someday my kid will be old enough to remember the trip, and we'll take a family pilgrimage car trip, but that's years away still.
