Chris,

Hey, you're in luck for something neat in Albuquerque during the week of
October 6-13:  that big gathering of Hot Air Balloons:

I'm in luck, too:  I'm starting on a 3 week cross country Vanagon trip,
and will be in New Mexico next Wednesday; looking forward to seeing a
morning sky full of balloons!

Subject: LVC I'm driving a Porsche 911 from Toronto to Phoenix starting
tomorrow

Hi All,

I'm driving a new Porsche 911 from Toronto Ontario to Phoenix Arizona,
leaving tomorrow night. Gas is covered but the pay I am getting just
barely
covers my flight home. I will be out of pocket a bit but not much. And
it['s
a Porsche 911 so it's an awesome opportunity.

I'm taking Interstates most of the way:
I-69, I-94, I-80, I-55, I-44, I-40
Through Chicago, St. Louis, Oklahoma City, Amarillo, and Alburquerque.

Apart from the obvious stops in the Grand Canyon and Sedona what short
side
trips should I make? My milage allowance is only 15% over the direct
route.

Anyone ever sleep in a 911 I know it won't be nearly as comfortable as
my
Vanagon (obligatory van content).

Chris
