Tuesday evening, October 10 We arrive in Albuquerque at around 5:45 pm and drive to the Fiesta Launchfield. It is overcast, but not raining, so the America's Challenge Gas Balloon Race is beginning with the inflation of the 12 balloons. (The launch was rained out over the previous weekend.) The Launch Field is large and very quiet. Not too many spectators, and the vendors are closed for the evening. It's exciting to be here! One odd shaped balloon is standing as we make our way out onto the f...

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.
... which took us up to Sandia Peak (10372ft). The views from the top were spectacular, as we could see a tenth of the State of Enchantment.
Summary:
Highlights - seeing 2 wonders of the world (Empire State and Statue of Liberty), watching our first baseball and American football matches, making many new friends in Albuquerque and the view from the top of Sandia Peak
Lowlights - getting tired of the commute in NY, finding a place to stay on a ...
... 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 ...

... we stopped in Santa Fe for just a short time since it was on the way home. We've realized that Santa Fe isn't the most fun place for little kids. We did stop by the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis. Outside the church, there is a labyrinth of tiles in the courtyard. Caroline was ...
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States jspringe... That morning's mass assension ended in tragedy when one of the special shape balloons (an upturned pyramid) was blown into some powerlines just outside the city, the basket catching fire and the two balloonists sent tumbling to the ground. The co-pilot was killed and the pilot in critical condition in hospital. The newsreader quickly answered the questions that was raised in both our minds - was this the first time that disaster had struck the ...

I've tried to link this to facebook so that people could read it there and comment if they wish instead of navigating to travelpod.com. I have yet to check it to see how its working, but I'll make sure to get it all sorted out before I leave the country. I'll try to update the travelogue several times a week if not daily, but I'll have to find a computer with internet access, so no guarantees there.
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States jaybrotz... Indian puebloes, many of them descendents of the Ancient Puebloans of southwestern Colorado, communities dating back close to 2000 years ago. As I drove out of Albuquerque, I looked back to be blown away with one of the most memorable moments on my trip: the setting sun's colouration of the Sandia Mountains, so named for the watermelon hues.
