It’s always good to be flexible and have back up plans. Construction got us in to Albuquerque about an hour later than we planned and we had developed a laundry situation. So, we’re once again revising the plan. The good news is that the latter half of the trip was always slower and more flexible. The southwest has been a goal of my husband’s for many years, and we want to enjoy, not be stressed out.
