Residence Inn By Marriott Albuquerque North

... I lost track of time playing around with photographs that before I knew it it was already 5:45. I hightailed it out of the hotel (which is practically right at the airport) and by the time the shuttle dropped me off it was 6:05. I checked in and was told by at least two of the agents that they were not promising that I would make the flight as I was "quite late" for the flight. No kidding! Luckily ...

... problem would have to be fixed eventually. Well, eventually is on your way to Albuquerque.
So as I finally found Devon and John's place, outside the city and quite remote, I was relived to have gotten the car that far. I met Devon and her husband John and instantly felt at home. My dad and Devon's mom are old theater friends and I promised my dad I would visit them on the way back to Atlanta. Devon and John ...

Leaving the winter home, Sharon came for a week vacation and to drive with me back to Madison. We drove to Bosque Del Apache via a few missions. Spent the night at the RV park for the birds and got up really early to see the birds fly ...

... and one that with its decaying pavements was a place that appeared to be forgotten by the powers that be who ran the country. Obama may have been elected amongst much ballyhoo but I fear that this god fearing area would always be a rundown area that would crumble and filter away as America maintained its status quo of having cities in the south that didn't amount to much. This was a city that's downtown spoke volumes as an area that wasn't ...

I was in Times square in NY taking photos about the crowd crossing the street then i went straight to the airport, get a flight to Albuquerque, there, i picked up a rental car and drove 8 hours to Monument Valley in Arizona, so, exactly 24 hours after time square i was standing in a desert, with for only company a lost dog...actually i appreciated the difference.

I get to the airport in Albuquerque at 4.30pm. my flight is at 6:30pm..I quickly hit the mens room
and eat 8 gelatin capsules of dried, powdered ( fine), peyote. within an hour of consumption
I'm through security and sitting with my laptop and the peyote kicks in."...Woah Mescalito !!!!
..please let me maintain and not have a major freakout here in the airport....just let me maintain and get me on the plane!!!!".....once on board it's smooth sailing...lol

... We did not participate in group tours, but rather got private tours of various sites, mixed liberally with free time to explore on our own. The mix worked well for us, but IExplore will customize any trip according to the client's preferences. If anyone has any questions about arrangements, costs, accommodations, sights to see, or things to do, We'll be happy to share with you our ...

... white sands are a few hours away from Carlsbad, but are definately worth the day trip. This dried up seabed formed from Gypsum is candy to the eyes. Once you reach the heart of the white sands, it is white as far as the eye can see. The sand itself is very nice. Not the finest sand in the world, but is cool and moist under the surface, and makes for great sand castle building. We had a ...

... that can be found in other areas of the park. The power of these vistas lies in the scope of the landscape. It seems like the multicolored hills stretch on forever. We didn’t stay long enough to experience this facet of the Painted Desert, but I’d imagine that it changes colors during the day in the same way that the Grand Canyon did. Even if one doesn’t have all day to watch the changes, it is still worth spending a little time ...

So first I went and visited my friend Shannon in Albuquerque, who I'd met the year before on the way to Guatemala. This was back in the days, back at the age, when such was the norm, making friends on the road. I’m not sure which was more important, but the best part was that it extended to locals, usually smoking herb, so it must have been ...
