Yay! It's finally here. It's been a long cold winter and I'm so ready to get out of the Quad Cities. So why did I choose Albuquerque? Well, it started with my national park quest and a suggestion from a friend, who is further along on his quest, to visit the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns. I looked into that. Carlsbad is in southern NM and Guadalupe Mtns. is over the border in Texas and El Paso is convenient to both. The problem was a week in El Paso didn't appeal to me. So, then I found out you could fly to Carlsbad from ABQ pretty cheap, meaning I could stay here and bop down there for a couple of days. That evolved into me looking into things to do in ABQ and there was just too much around I figured I'd be coming down here a few times to see everything. So here I am, in Albuquerque for the next 8 days, a list of places to visit, and a craving for good Mexican food.
I should mention that I used points for my hotel and volunteered to be bumped to a slightly later flight. If that had happened my hotel and flight would have cost me $50. No such luck there, but I did manage a free shuttle ride to a hotel that didn't provide shuttle service, not too shabby.
