Vagabond Executive Inn - Formerly The Airport University Inn 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.

... that we always experienced - people trying to sell us souvenirs/maps/pictures/other worthless **** AND hardcore airport "take off your shoes" standard security checks. We then went on a tour of Uptown NY - past Columbus Circle, Central Park, Harlem (the projects!) Etc. The day and our time in NY ended on a sporty note, as we saw the New York Mets baseball team take on Atlanta at their new stadium Citi Field with Rishi and Nehal. Long story short - the Mets suck ...

... 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.

... 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?

This morning the kids woke up early so I decided we would go to Mass with Anny and the kids. They go to a nice church near their house. It looks very New Mexican even inside with the decor they have. On the alter, there was a fountain which was very nice. After church ...

So...it took us a total of 22hours from the time we checked out of our condo to the plane touching down in Albuquerque. Our flight left Kona at 9 at night, so we did take some time to eat lunch, do additional window shopping, have delicious scandinavian shaved ice, and make our way over to the outdoor airport. I knew we could not take liquids- so sadly we left lots of liquor in our ...

You may wonder what happens in between blogs; since the last one- 15th November, no we weren't abducted by aliens, we've just been pottering really. Living on the road as we are, there are still what we call 'housekeeping' chores to do; not to mention trying to keep up with these here blogs so y'all know what we're up to! Things like the washing, but NO ironing I hasten to ...

... the first time. Keegan and Collin gave their kid's church a thumbs up and REALLY liked it! After church, the boys and I stopped by Cracker Barrel and then on to The Albequerque Museum in Old Town. We saw lots of unique wool rugs, pottery, paintings, and learned about life in Albequerque over the last 300 years. The boys favorite part was weaving small rugs with yarn and a needle(see pic ...
