| Albuquerque | Travel Tips to Balloon Fiesta Posted: Sat August 29, 2009 07:41 PM UTC
Are the park and rides worth the money?
Is the cost 15 dollars each day? Can you ride all day? Suggestions to drive into the park if the ParkNRide is not a deal? What if the balloons are grounded for weather- how does that affect your purchased ParkNRide ticket? I am planning 2009 attendance and would appreciate any TIPS! |

| Albuquerque | Visiting with no car Posted: Tue July 14, 2009 07:50 PM UTC
What are your suggestions for places to visit for someone who has no car and relies on public transport? Are there many places of attraction that are easy to get to? Also, I would like any recommendations of anyone's favourite places to visit, acommodation and eating, as I am a student so need to keep costs to a minimum.
Thanks, Kirsty |

Hi there - looks like our sweet rental won't be ready for us to move into until about 10 days after we arrive in Albuquerque. We're working downtown and looking for a reasonable hotel/motel that is pet friendly in the downtown/mid town area - any suggestions? Thanks!

| Santa Fe | Lodging in Santa Fe area Posted: Thu April 23, 2009 01:26 AM UTC
Planning a 7 day visit mid Aug 2009. My wife and I are looking forward to a relaxing vacation with some exploring and photo ops. We are in our 50's and flying into Albuquerque from New York. Would like to avoid big city hassels like traffic jams, noise and the hustle & bustle. We have not been to Santa Fe before. Are there hotels available inside the city limits that are quiet and laid back, or would the suburbs/outskirts have what we're looking for? Wouldn't mind B&B or smaller hacienda. Thanks!

| Albuquerque | Moving to Albuquerque... and saw a sweet rental... is the area okay? Posted: Mon April 13, 2009 12:11 AM UTC
I was in Albuquerque last week to check out the area and found a rental house located North of Lomas, East of Louisiana, West of Pennsylvania and just south of the Jerry Cline Park. The house itself is in great shape, owners seem nice enough... the neighborhood appears older with some nice and some not so nice on the same street and the adjacent streets - any advice about that area? Thanks for your help!

| New Mexico | Weather in Winter Posted: Sun January 25, 2009 04:23 AM UTC
Now before anyone goes harping on me about not seraching for similar posts, I did search and didn't find anything that quite satisfied me!! That said, I was wondering what weather to expect for mid-February in NM. Albuquerque, Santa Fe, down to Carlsbad, White Sands, Roswell. I've been checking the weather networks online frequently and it seems like it's warm during the day (15C - don't know Farenheit). Should we anticipate snow in the towns? I'm expecting snow up at high altitudes (e.g. Sandia Peak). How about driving conditions? We're also driving to Gallup and into Arizona - how about these roads? Thanks!

| Albuquerque | Walking safety Posted: Wed January 14, 2009 03:30 AM UTC
Hi All, I will be staying at a hotel on Central Avenue east of Broadway and was thinking of walking to the Convention Center (about a 15 minute walk). Would this be safe for a lone woman? This would be during the day. I ask because I've read there are some sketchy areas in downtown. Alternatively, I could take the bus to 2nd Street and walk from there.
Thanks :) |

| New Mexico | Looking for a family cabin in NM Posted: Tue January 6, 2009 11:10 PM UTC
Iwant to take the wife and 2 teens to a mountain cabin for a week or so. We would like to do some hiking, fishing, shopping and maybe some horseback riding and whitewater as well. We prefer accomodations off the beaten path, and would rather spend our $$ on activities than on luxurious lodging. Anybody have any suggestions? I was thinking about the region West of Cimarron, near Taos.
Thanks! |

We have 9 days for a road trip starting in El Paso and heading North thru New Mexico! We are flying out of Albuquerque and want to see as much of NM as possible, including Taos. We cannot wait to experience New Mexico!
We'd love suggestions on a route, and what to see along the way. We want to experience small towns, local cafes, fun places to stay (not too expensive), art galleries/local artists, festivals/celebrations, amazing scenery (Petroglyphs) and hikes... Any suggestions/tips are welcome! Thank you so much! :) |

| New Mexico | VT Meet & Greet??? Posted: Sat November 22, 2008 10:48 PM UTC
Howdy folks! I've been offline most of this year it seems, but I'm missing my VT buddies! So, anyone have ideas for a VT meet in New Mexico sometime this year?
Some ideas we've bandied about in the past: Balloon Fiesta Gathering of Nations Roswell Alien Festival or just plain lunch or dinner! What say you? Anyone have thoughts to shar? Is there interest? Or shall I just call Ray and make him meet me for lunch? :) Kymba |

| New Mexico | Scenic Drives? Posted: Tue November 4, 2008 06:02 AM UTC
Hello everyone,
I'm wondering what the drive from Roswell to Albuquerque is like, scenery-wise. I'm planning on visiting Roswell, Carlsbad, and White Sands, but I'm flying out of Albuquerque. The other option I was considering was driving from Carlsbad through Texas past Guadalupe Mountains NP, stopping for a couple hours, and getting to Albuquerque via interstate 25 (not necessarily all in one day). Thanks :) |

| Albuquerque | Hello its David from vero beach fl, usa Posted: Fri October 31, 2008 02:41 AM UTC
I will be in Albuquerque, nov 3, 2008 for at least 4 days maybe more. I was wondering if anybody had any ideas on a quiet motel, that was reasonable. I am not a high roller , but like it clean and quiet, If i could get a deal I would stay longer but it seems the online deal makers are all in the same range. I wanted to go to the peak/ tram. I have to go to santa fe on nov 3, 2003 after that I thought I would dive back to alb, and stay there- open to all ideas- have info on cebu, bohol, camigiun philippines, china, and shenzen- glad to help -bye all,

| New Mexico | VT members in Roswell ? Posted: Sun October 5, 2008 06:58 AM UTC
Hi, I was just thinking if there are any VT members in Roswell, New Mexico . Well, I would be attending a one-month training programme in Roswell and staying at a local inn in Roswell, New Mexico. As the saying goes, the best way to see and cover a lot of interesting places is being accompanied by a good friend.
So, any VT members in roswell out there, I would love to meet you. BTW, I am a 53 years old, law enforcement officer from Malaysia and love travelling. Thanks and Regards, Ivan Christie Jeremiah |

| New Mexico | How long from Albuquerque to Gallup, then Canyon de Chelly & Grand Canyon? Posted: Wed September 10, 2008 01:54 PM UTC
Hi again! :-)
I'm thinking of doing my Albuquerque --> Albuquerque loop (mentioned in my previous post here) starting with Gallup & Canyon de Chelly rather than with Santa Fe & Taos, which I would then see on my way back to Albuquerque... This is to try and avoid reaching certain places during a week-end... But I'm having a bit of a hard time trying to figure out how long each portion of the trip could take me - for instance, how many days driving from Albuquerque to Grand Canyon via Gallup & Canyon de Chelly (I would be in Gallup on a saturday for the 'flea market' but probably would rather spend the night somewhere else...)... Any idea? Thanks! Cécile |
