Park Plaza Hotel 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.

... we had an awesome time nonetheless! :)

On Thursday morning we took a way too early flight to Albuquerque via Houston, Texas. Thanks to online self check-in we secured good seats on both flights and had a chance to catch up on sleep. Upon our arrival we picked up our first car - a silver Nissan Sentra - and checked in to the Hiway House Motel. This would be the start of 4 memorable days in Albuquerque. Our motel was run by the most chilled guy in the state ...

... New Mexico to attend free for four years. How about that.

To end my day, I headed out to Sandia peak to see the tramway. When I got there, I didn't really see what the big deal was except maybe the view when you got to the top. But the sky was clouding up and I didn't think the view would be that good. So I passed. But I didn't ...

... well worth the side trip. It is one of the world's premier radio space observatories. Have you seen the movie Contact, with Jodie Foster? It was filmed there. Their visitor center even has an exhibit on the filming. Each antenna weighs 230 tons and is 82 feet in diameter. They have a sign to turn off all electronic equipment. No need ...

... walked in egypt like sand and got pictures of petrographs. Tapped some petroglyphs ass

... and dying, Gramps, etc. Also had good convo again in car earlier about investing in real estate after Donald called.

After dinner we had couple hours to kill before Mike got in so we plugged Kenny Weddington's address in the GPS to see where it was and took drive out there- great house but didn't seem anybody was home and didn't have much time by the time we got out there before Mike got in so took off and scooped ...

... and various mechanical things. Tinkertown has an old wooden sailboat on exhibit, along with the history of the boats travels as it circumnavigated the entire globe. There are carnival exhibits, old west models, bits and pieces of history from all over. The level of detail was amazing. Tinkertown was quite a sight and clearly a labor of love. We spent another day in old town Albuquerque and checked out the small shops and galleries. One shop in ...

... is all kind of a blur now. Like the first one, after the first few hours you just kind of zone out. I didn't manage to get any sleep again, but I watched a bunch of movies and it was pretty comfortable. The food didn't seem as good this time (Emily agrees) but it was sufficient. So we boarded the plane at about 12:30 pm in Melbourne and deplaned at 7:30 am in LA, still Tuesday the 8th. For me, it was nice to be back in ...

... with internet access, but hey - how bad could it be?? And the payoff... finding a corner in Winslow, AZ to park Chris on, such a fine sight to see... come on everybody, sing it with me while we wait... for a girl, my Lord, in flatbed Ford slowin' down and take a look at he (humor me - 'him' didn't rhyme ;-) Things we LOVE Serendipity Things we HATE Dry, chapped lips and the cracks you get in the corner of your mouth that NEVER seem to heal!!
