4th day of trip - Albuquerque, NM

I think I finally spelled Albuquerque correctly. It only took me about three tries and two days, but I think I got it. Anyway, Albuquerque is where we're spending our last night before arriving in Arizona. We drove slightly more miles than yesterday; so over 500. Fortunately, the speed limits were high again, so we made great time. For lunch we stopped at an A&W Root Beer/Long John Silver's. It was an interesting combination. I was glad that we stopped at those chain restaurants instead of going to McDonald's which was located right at the end of the ramp of the exit off the interstate. We had to drive a little further down the road to find an alternative to the king of fast food. For dinner on the other hand, fast food was simply not a viable option. We found a great Thai restaurant. I really love Thai food. It's probably my favorite cuisine; right up there with Mexican. We made it back to the motel to watch the Eagles game. They lost to the Bears. It was a close game, but the Bears wanted it more. Oh well. I can't really complain that much. The Phillies clinched the NL East yesterday for the second straight year. Penn State won defeated Illinois last night to remain undefeated.

Tomorrow, we have a short drive--350 miles--to Sedona, AZ. Finally, we'll be staying in a place for more than one night. I'm looking forward to that as well as picturesque scenery, laundry, a swimming pool, and maybe even a jacuzzi.
