NM we have arrived!!!
Well last day of travel was supposed to be the easiest and shortest, and it ended up being just as long and the hardest really. We got up early but took our time with breakfast, some walking, and just relaxing a bit, then headed West for our 2:30. AND that plan worked out great until we gassed up in Tuccamcari.
Then about 12 miles down the road, DEAD STOP!!!! Accident somewhere about 10 miles up backing us all up to a stop. So there we stood, or sat, for some 45-50 minutes. BUT the beauty of RV travel is we put in a movie, cooked up some lunch and just waited it out. finally we got on the move, and went about 20 miles, just got up to traveling speed and traffic spaced itself out a bit, when…. you guessed it, DEAD STOP again, and right outside Santa Rosa, and this time apparently for construction, not sure why it stopped us, but there we were for another 30 minutes and now moving…. BUT eventually we got going, hit our exit at Clines corners, made the turn onto 285 and then fought the crosswinds that you can only really appreciate in a big flat moving home for then next 20 miles….!! Lo and behold, after at least 40-50 Angelica’s “Are we close to my Nina’s yet” we rolled into Santa Fe, at 4:30 in the afternoon!!! Nice 4 hour trip turned into 7 hours!! but we arrived, safe and sound and no less for the wear, although the trip didi finally get to the kids and they passed out in the chairs, with there computers in hand right toward the end!!
So now is time for some qulity Family time, and more iportantly the kids some cousin time they never get being that a Military family is always deprived of such luxuries!!!
