Back to the airport and this time navigating the domestic
terminal for an American Eagle flight. LAX is being upgraded so we had to be
bussed to a terminal over the other side of the precinct. It is a very
efficient system, with line markings and intersections taking us weaving in and
out of the incoming and outgoing flights. Everyone obviously follows the rules
(or the accidents would be catastrophic) but it was very strange getting to an
intersection and having a 737 stop and give way to our bus! Equally as strange
to have a plane taxi-ing alongside us and keeping pace with the bus until the
pilot gunned it for take-off.
Again, another uneventful flight (just the way we like
them!) into Albuquerque. It was a Canadair 50 seat plane and flew at quite a
low altitude so we got to look out of the window at the scenery. The desert is
quite pretty from the air, with different coloured sands – reds, pinks, yellows
and blacks. Albuquerque airport is nice and tidy – new and well looked after.
We caught a taxi to the RV storage place to find the van. Amazingly, despite
not being driven in months, the engine turned over on the first try.
We headed
for the nearest Walmart for groceries, then onto American RV park which will be
our base here for a couple of days. We collected brochures for all the local
attractions and have decided what to do tomorrow. The RV park is very pleasant,
with a pool. The owners are great and have made us feel very welcome.
The weather is lovely, nice and warm, but not crazy hot like
Vegas can be.
We are about to do dinner and an early night!
