Ooooh.. Is Albuquerque that bad ? I have only visited New Mexico via interstate 10, Lordsburg (actually Steins)to El Paso. have always thought I would like to go back for a more leisurely visit !
It may bring back sad memories, since the wife was along with me those many years ago, and we had a great time. I would like to travel a bit more now, but doing so all alone, is not near as enjoyable. Travel is about "sharing" along the way !
