My El Paso story-
Beware of the Sun Bowl crowd if you plan to travel to/through El Paso during
New Years day time frame. I was trying to avoid a storm barreling through the
Roswell-Carlsbad area during a ski trip from SA to Ruidoso. Thinking that by
staying south and west I would be better off. Bad idea, took an hour and a
half to find a room, restaurant lines were horrible and the partiers kept us up
till....
Being an airplane nut, I tried to work in a visit to a museum in the area I'd
checked out years earlier. I hoped the family would share my enthusiasm. It
was closed for the holiday. Here's a link if you are interested and have time
to stop.
