Nicknamed \u201cPilot\u201d for her day job flying planes, Sarah was celebrated at the \u201cAround the World\u201d-themed evening, in keeping with her line of work and love for travel. Over the course of her career and time living here, Sarah and friends have voyaged to far-flung destinations such as the Philippines, New Zealand and Morocco. In commemoration of such memorable adventures, all celebrated through food, drink and d\u00e9cor reminiscent of their shared travels. For example, one campsite served cocktails from a tiki bar, as well as fresh Fijian ceviche aka Kokoda. It also featured a replica of the Tui Tai sailing schooner, which Sarah and friends spent a week on touring Fiji back in 2009. Another tailgate offered a nod to Hanalei, Kauai, with pi\u00f1a coladas and fresh fish dishes in tribute to the popular Pat\u2019s Taqueria there. A third campsite offered a spread of elk fondue and Peruvian cocktails. As the sky shifted from sunset to a starry night with the Milky Way in view, the Difficult Campground hosts ventured over to the festivities to mingle, noting the vibrant get-together was \u201cby far the best party we\u2019ve seen here all summer!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Shirttail\">For info, insights or invites, contact <a href=\"mailto:mayselby@gmail.com\">mayselby@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/magazines\/aspen-times-weekly\/mountain-mayhem-an-around-the-world-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A boatload of friends gather to celebrate Sarah Manning&#8217;s 5-0 at an around the world party!
