Quality Inn & Suites 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.

... camped overnight and are now back in civilisation and en route to Lake Powell. The next blog will contain all the dirt from our time in Arizona!

A few people have asked about pictures, and we promise we shall put some up as soon as we get a chance (probably in Vegas or LA). Till then Dev will be uploading some pictures through his phone so do check out his profile for that.

That's all for now. Big love from The Grand Canyon to all!

... woman. How about that.

Then I roamed around town and went in to some of the shops. This area is very much into chili peppers. So you see them everywhere. There were several Native Americans on the Plaza selling their wares. No, I am not going to tell you what I bought.

Time for a Trolley Tour. It gives you a nice ...

... I guess a gray haired granny didn't look too dangerous.

First stop was Truth Or Consequences. Nice little town. They have a museum there but I didn't stop. I just wanted to see the town with the same name as the TV program. Did you know that the TV show came first?


The entire trip from Las Cruces was beautiful ...

DAY 5: Mon August 10
Had a heart to heart with Rosemary and the ...

... Finally remembered them since we forgot on the hike in Taos day before. Donald called Pops when we were up top so he talked to him for a while about our trip, etc. From here we went to the International Balloon museum which was very cool and we learned a lot about the hot air balloon capital of the world. We didn't see any out when we were in town but hopefully in the morning. The balloon fiesta in early Oct would be ...

... The sun rose as we drove toward the city. As we reached the outskirts of Albuquerque, we were greeted by these wonderful spots of color rising in the distance-the morning mass ascension of the balloons! Cars were pulled over on the interstate to watch as the balloons from the fiesta were filled with hot air and rising up to fill the skies over the city. A really neat experience! We stopped and got some great pictures! It was amazing how many ...

In 2005, we started The Mountain Fund with the goal of becoming the charity that represents the heart and soul of the Outdoor Industry around the world. We had taken a long hard look at the situation and found that, on an international scale, no one was stepping up to the plate and representing outdoor sports like climbing, hiking and trekking in a way that made clear that the industry had heart and soul. Today, there is a voice for people and ...

Yesterday, after we finished at REI, we were going to stop at the Fourbucks around the corner (stay with me, there's a point to this...) but decided to go to Wild Oats and get some non-freeze dried foods since we now know the fridge is working very well on the propane, regardless of being hooked-up (in fact, with the temperature change, we actually had to lower it from where we had it set while in the South) and we figured there had to be a ...
