How coincidental.
My wife and I, earlier in the year, planned a trip in mid-October to Albuquerque for the annual balloon fiesta and a very much recommended Breaking Bad RV tour. The airfare for flights in and out of ABQ were ridiculous (presumably due to the Fiesta) and so we settled on flying in and out of El Paso and driving up. It worked out wonderfully, as the three-hour 85 MPH drive went swimmingly, and ABQ is a great city to get around in. We took in White Sands and Alamogordo on the way back.
The airfares are equally as ridiculous into El Paso around the bowl dates. So I looked at a reverse sort of itinerary. Didn’t help. ABQ is still ridiculously expensive.
So, it looks like we’re going to pass on this one and leave it to the moneybag people. Hate it.
If anyone has the bitcoin to finance this trip, by all means, do it. El Paso gets a bad rap. We thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay there and I was impressed with the area around the stadium and the city itself. The stadium reminds me a lot of Tempe Stadium, oddly enough.
Which probably doesn’t bode well for us.
