Marriott Albuquerque Pyramid North

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 ...

... 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 ...

... 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.

... we got an great meal and a 360 degree view. The whole trip was amazing - I especially loved the plane ride over the desert and over the canyon. Jack and Alice stayed in Vegas for an extra day and flew out this afterenoon, while Louise and I rented a car and drove to Flagstaff, Arizona yesterday and caught a train to Albuquerque this morning. Flagstaff is a lovely little university town - wish we could have spent more time ...

Despite the cab being slightly late, I'm here at the gate with a good 45 minutes to spare for the first leg of my journey. From here I go to Cincinnati, then Paris, then Florence, Italy where I get to kick around and do whatever I want for the day. I'll meet up with the travel group on the 12th in a little town called ...

... someone said 4 - 6 hours... Then we went to the Balloon Museum - very fun and enjoyable, all about Hot Air Balloon. Did not know there was miltary used at one point. Stop at the Sandia Casino to try our luck. One of the workers said the casino is about 7 years old , moved from a small place across the street. Dinner at the '66 diner on Central Ave - try the milkshake.

... and I thought he was on the verge of running out screaming at times. The only downside was the fact that there were a few kids in there who were a bit annoying, banging on glass cases and screaming their heads off. At the end, we collected our certificates of bravery and left, relieved to have escaped with our lives intact. We bumped into the English girls from the Greyhound, who told us that they were getting the train to Flagstaff the next day as they ...
