Here's one more thing to consider about altitude. Those of you living at
sea-level most of your lives, or who have any respiratory or circulatory
problems, your body will notice the altitude change, as well. Plan on a
day or two to acclimate to the altitude before doing anything strenuous.
Light, short walks once or twice a day help the process. 

For most people, light-headedness or headaches are the only symptoms,
but one can feel rather breathless upon exertion until acclimated to the
change in altitude.

Cheers.
