Guesthouse International Albuquerque

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.

... on Saturday and made a spontaneous stop at the Native American Cochiti pueblo to see the Kashi Katuwe National Monument - white tent shaped rocks formed by volcanoes. When picking up Benji and Katherine from the airport, we also managed to swap our car for a much sportier and roomier Mazda S6! In the evening we experienced our 3rd sports match in the USA - College American Football. The match was a noisy local derby between Uni of New Mexico (The LOBOS) and New ...

... keep shorter than a solo outing might be.

Headed back to Hwy 60, and east toward Socorro, NM, through the little outposts of Omega, Pie Town, Datil and Magdalena, and past the Very Large Array Radio Telescope installation east of Datil. (This is where part of the movie Contact was filmed in about 1985, based on Carl Sagan's novel, and staring Jodie Foster). Breakfast in Socorro - no, not you know where - talked with Nancy after a ...

Albuquerque is a nice town. It's set between the Rio Grande and the Sandia Mountains. The city has been here since Spanish colonial times and has a lot of history. Down town has a nice theater and restaurant area with an "Old Town" section. There are quite a few good museums. I checked out the Indian Culture Museum to get an introduction to the 18 different Pueblo cultures in the region ...

... s a touching one about a grandma and a funny one about kids stuffing their family's belongings out a hole in the floor of the car that we particularly enjoyed. One note about yesterday. While driving in Oklahoma, we saw a roadside sign that stated: Hitchhikers may be escaping inmates. We thought that was hilarious. Maybe they should work on the security of ...

... Houston, Texas today because we need to make a quick stop at the Brazilian Consulate to obtain a visa to enter the country in the last leg of our journey. Neither of us have explored Houston, so that is where the adventure officially starts. PS. journaling is not my thing... so it is going to take some time and practice to make them interesting and a worth while read.

... this trip would take us and turned south again towards warmer weather the next morning. My rule of thumb is that you can't do a road trip in the U.S. without visiting one or more of the parks in the Arizona/Utah area, so the Road King wagged its tailpipe and brought us to Bluff outside of Monument Valley the following night. We'd stayed in Bluff before. It's a tiny little place, in a gorgeous setting among red bluffs with a great outdoor restaurant, The Cottonwood Steakhouse ...

... t be beat.

We waddled out of the Flying Star and headed across the street to Rick’s Photo. I bought a roll of 1600 speed film to shoot the nighttime balloon launch at the Balloon Fiesta. Then, we headed off to our next destination. We decided over breakfast that we should pick up our Balloon Fiesta tickets first, and then head back to Old Town Albuquerque to explore some of the shops and attractions of that area. Of course, that plan went out ...
