Don’t let the name scare you off! I was surprised my wife wanted to visit this museum with me. It is a small museum, but interesting nonetheless. Located right in Old Town Albuquerque, it is easy to find. There are, indeed, a number of rattlesnakes to view. There is one albino rattlesnake, but the original “Marilyn” has since died.…
The Margaretta’s are Indeed the Best Connected to the Inn of the Governors on Alameda Street, this restaurant has patronage with locals and visitors alike. It is also quite reasonable too. The restaurant “brags” on having the “Best Margarita’s in Santa Fe.” After visiting this place four times, we concur with that assessment. The margarita is quite smooth and you…
Good Food, But… We were in the Old Town Albuquerque Hotel when a woman walked out of Garduno’s Restaurant. We asked her how her food was, “I had the best Taco Salad” she said. The morning cook, Maria, at the Embassy Suites also raved about Garduno’s. “I love that place,” Maria stated. We sat at the large bar near a…
Good Fresh Food and Erudite Ambiance Sharing the same premise as the downtown Albuquerque Library, Big Al’s Dipper is one kind of a place that servers fresh sandwiches, salads and soups. Everything is made fresh. My wife had a Greek salad and said “it was pretty good.” Not the same way as it is in Greece, but an Albuquerque style…

There is a relaxing and fun atmosphere. Our first visit we sat in the bar area and met some entertaining people. The staff was extremely…
A Few Tips in Using Gray Line Los Cabos We found this service on the web and signed up on line. Everything is spelled out. We need to emphatically say that when you come out of the airport, do NOT see any of the hawkers. They will tell you “they will call” the company. Gray Line is already waiting…
Winning Ambiance and Good Food The newest addition to “Downtown Disney Springs” is filled with ambiance and good food. Even though pricy, you will not be disappointed in what you order. The Shrimp cocktail is excellent. Extra-large fresh shrimp are used and the cocktail sauce is made to perfection. At first we balked at the price of $4 a…
Well Worth a Visit Located north of Albuquerque on I-25 on Tramway Blvd., Sandia Resort and Casino is easy to find. In fact, you can see it from the major highway. There is plenty of parking, plenty of space for visiting RV’s that come for the Balloon Fiesta. The outside is impressive with a very large pool. Not far away…
Finest Yogurt Shop in America As “yogurt” connoisseurs from Florida to Hawaii, we have seen and tasted many yogurts. Your Albuquerque Yogurt stands out for several reasons. This unique establishment is located in a large distinctive home, the Romero House, across the beautiful Old Town Plaza. The Amapola Gallery is upstairs, while YAY is downstairs. There is a large…
One of the Most Picturesque Bays in the World When you come to Hanalei, you have to cross a one lane bridge. There is “local courtesy” that states that five to seven cars may cross at a time. We have seen as many as ten cars travel across. “Shaka” rules, though, and your turn will come as you “hang…
