Day 3 of my Arizona trip
Posted 10-13-2015 at 05:15 PM by Deelighted
Left Amarillo about 6:30 a.m. Was going to stop for breakfast and gas but did not realize I was to the outskirts. I kept looking for a decent gas price and next thing I knew I was in NM! Got gas ($21.01 @2.299) in Glen Rio NM grabbing some coffee and a muffin.
I had to stop almost hourly probably due to bad nerves from yesterday's hotel stress 😨
I thought Albuquerque was beautiful and wished I had time and the money to explore, especially the mountain houses seen at Sedilla. I drove through part of Truth or Consequence because I had time to kill but the town didn't appeal to me so I only stopped for gas ($26.65 @2.459).
Hotel in Las Cruces NM is very nice and they allowed me to check in early. Was going to take a few pics but rechargeable batteries were dead. Couldn't find where charger got packed, so went and bought new charger set and hope to get pics in the a.m.
Whee!! Almost to AZ😃

Hi Deelighted,
I hope you are having a blast!
I like that you've posted gas prices. Which hotels did you stay in Amarillo? in Las Cruces?

I stayed at a Travelodge in Amarillo and the only available room was a smoking room. That was hard, but I sucked on my hard candy and nicotene lozenges. I left very early! Sorry to say it but I didn't like Amarillo and wish I had booked somewhere in Oklahoma.
In Las Cruces, I stayed at The Big Chili Inn (an American Best Value Inn) which was lovely and I really liked Las Cruces and did get a few very early dawn pics of the city with the distant mountains.Posted 10-24-2015 at 08:10 AM by Deelighted
