Albuquerque in 2006!!

Best of luck to you on your move, FallenFairy! I grew up in Albuquerque from the 60's to the 80's; I have lots of family there, so I still visit now and then. One of my favorite things to do around there is to take solo drives between ABQ and my family's farm about 30 mi. north on the alternate road--so beautiful and peaceful, especially after a rainstorm. Not at all like driving in Philly or DC, I tell ya.

Since you'll be working at Intel, you will be on the Westside on North Coors, I think? That area's gone through a lot of development since I've lived there, but there's still quite a bit of open space. Corrales is not too far north from there--if you like horses, that's where they are.

Don't forget to have your sunscreen and shades on when you get off the plane--June is HOT and the sun is way more brutal out there than it is here on the east coast!
