Monday - June 13

Hello from Albuquerque where we still are after not getting on our flight today (Denver or Chicago).    Several seats available and then bam!!!    Next thing we know, our flight is oversold, so no chance of any  stand bys making it.     So.....we are enjoying a "down" day and just chillin back at our hotel.   We took a long walk (the airport hotels are primarily in an industrial area, so just felt good to get out and about AND get in our 10,000 steps.    Although the temp is 90, there is only 13% humidity!   It keeps going down every time I check my phone!!! 

Wow....not used to that after IL and FL.

 

The Albuquerque Airport is really nice - no big crowds, friendly folks and especially impressed with the bathrooms.....huge and very spacious, plus each sink is separate with its own soap dispenser, towel holder, etc.   You know....the little things in life that make ya happy!   

 

We bought the last 2 tickets on SW tomorrow flying from here to Houston to Atlanta.

 

Not that we plan to be here, but looking ahead to the weekend weather for Albuquerque - in the 100's for several days!!!    

 

Okay...here's another interesting story.    When we flew from Atlanta last Friday we had a stopover in Dallas).   The air conditioning was not working and it was very warm and stuffy on our full flight.   The captain apologized off and on and when we exited the plane, the flight attendant said "I'm so sorry about the AC".   Well, we thought that was the end of it.   Lo and behold, today we each got a voucher for $75 off our next Southwest flight!    Cant beat that for service!

A few more pics from Colorado...

an RV totally destroyed - sure hope the passengers are ok

Can't wait to see Sweet Pea tomorrow...

 

Walked across the street to Little Anita's for supper - fast food Mexican.    Only other choice was here at hotel and we did that last night.   It was ok - not near as good as what we had in Cuba last Friday.
