I woke up in a tremendous amount of pain. My feet and legs were sore and stiff. My toes looked a little less like hamburger, but were still a raw red color. The only good news was that my chills had passed. Still, I was in no condition to do much sightseeing.
Fortunately, we weren't going to be doing much of that. The plan was to spend most of the day driving to Albuquerque. While I usually don’t relish the idea of a six-hour drive, I was glad that I would be able to give my feet...
I got out of bed around 7:45 A.M. Since Dianne was already in the shower, I decided to open the windows and see what was going on outside. I was amazed to see a large group of balloons off in the distance. Obviously, what I was seeing was the height (pun intended) of the Balloon Fiesta. It was very impressive to watch a couple of hundred balloons populate the sky, even from the distance where I was watching. The sight just heightened my anticipation for the next day, when we'd be watching the...
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States mikvsIt was still dark when we got out of bed at 5 a.m. That wakeup time would normally be a heresy on one of our vacations (unless we were catching a flight). However, we made an exception in this case because we had to be at Balloon Fiesta Park by 7 a.m. so that we could watch the morning launch. We quickly got ready and headed downstairs to our car. Instead of driving off to the park, we headed to a local shopping mall. The Balloon Fiesta's organizers had arranged for a shuttle service that wou...
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States mikvsDay 4 We started the day with a little side trip in the mountains of New Mexico. First, the sculpture garden. You really don't see enough sculpture gardens. Then we went to a tiny chaple called el Santuario de Chimayo. This tiny chaple attracts thousands of worshipers who come to pray for the sick. Up to 30,000 attend Good Friday Mass. I have no idea where the sit or park, but it is an experience. Crosses bearing the names of the sick are everywhere, as well as tiny shoes and crutches. Yeah, ...

Am surveying others on how they attempt to stay healthy when traveling in airports and on planes? I have traveled almost every week for over 13 years and have found some ways to cope but am interested in what others have found works for them?
Thanks!
On October 1, 2009 friends of over 50 years will be meeting in New Mexico to celebrate our 70th birthday. The last trip we took together was 20 years ago on our 50th birthday. We went to British Columbia, Canada and had the time of our lives.
It has taken us 20 years to decide to take another birthday trip together. We'll toast the friends we've lost and the ones who could not join us.
Stay tuned as we take this wonderful journey together.
... State, and after several ups and downs the home team went down to a last minute touchdown. It was incredible seeing how the whole town got behind their team (Red Lobos signs and TShirts everywhere...we joined in too!) and the stadium was hushed into a stunned silence at the end.
On Sunday we began our drive down the historic R66 towards Arizona and The Grand Canyon. Before leaving NM we stopped at the Sandia Peak tramway - the longest tramway in the ...
... on stopping and the Sandia Casino. Yep, I got another players club card. But I only got $20 free play this time. But after 2 hours, I walked out the door with $43 of their money. Pretty good, don't you think?
And that's about it for today. Time for bed. Tomorrow I am off to a goat farm. Tune in tomorrow night to find out why.
