Unexpected Albuquerque Visit

Image
Hi everyone, I flew from Phoenix to Albuquerque on Thursday, expecting to catch my connecting flight to Alamosa to visit Jody and family in Del Norte. The connection was delayed for over 3 hours due to high winds in both locations. So I spent the night in a hotel and used Uber to see the historic Old Town square in Albuquerque the next day. That evening I returned to the airport and after waiting for over 3 hours was told the same flight was canceled due to mechanical problems! So, after a lot of deliberation, and some internal swearing, I chose to stay overnight again in Albuquerque. Only this time I would rent a car the next morning and drive 4+ hours to Jody's. I stopped for a quick peak at the historic square in Santa Fe. I made it safely and have had a great, although quite chilly, visit. It's been so fun to see how Isabel has matured in the 8 months since I last saw her. What a wonderful treat after such a crazy trip here. Love to all, Ja

Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse. A fun "western town" in Tucson with excellent Mesquite grilled steaks. After hearing stories about tire blowouts that tore the side of your trailer off. We decided to replace our Chinese OEM trailer tires with Goodyear Endurance tires. Rather try to squeeze into a tire shop, the installers came out to our site, and put the whole trailer up on jacks. They switched the tires and repacked the wheel bearings in about an hour. Downtown Tucson, a college town, has a lively bar and restaurant scene centered around the Hotel Congress built in 1919.
