Yes!!!

Just got off the phone with DH, who is still in Albuquerque for his conference, and got some (to me) good info from him! He agrees that his problem his last trip and the slight problem he had this trip was entirely due to (or at least started by) carsickness, which he'd never had before, and not due to altitude! (Made worse by altitude the first time, yes, started by, no) He says he LOVES Albuquerque and would consider living there at some point, and would love to go back for a trip again in the future! He's doing *fine* with the altitude with all his hiking from room to room to room doing more walking than in a typical WDW day, so he agrees he can handle that altitude just fine. And he *loves* seeing the Sandias.

You don't know how happy that makes me!!!!!!!!!! With how much I hate Houston, I've been toying with trying to convince DH to move to New Mexico or Colorado (desert environ somewhere) in the 5-10 year range (after I've gotten my Master's and our house has reached the point where it's no longer throwing your money away to move), and now there's more than a snowball's chance I can talk him into it!

And this opens up more vacation opportunities that I've always wanted to show him but he was afraid to see: Bryce, Canyonlands, Arches, Grand Canyon, Bisti wilderness....

Sounds nice, rajah. All those places would be very nice to see.

I am glad to see you so excited about your future.. isn't it a grand feeling to dream.. and know that there is really a chance of making it all come true!

Have fun.. dreaming, traveling and planning!

I was wondering if you would be moving in the future. It's very obvious you love that place.

It looks like it's going to work out for you. I'm glad.

ABQ is beautiful, isn't it I wouldn't mind living there either.
The cool mornings, blue sky 95% of the time and low humidity make it a great place to me!

You hate Houston????

The humidity keeps you young looking, you know.

I'm glad to hear he's not sick. When I first moved here it took me about 6 months to get used to the altitude. I had headaches every day and when I spoke, I always sounded like I had just run a mile. It really is beautiful here, especially in the spring. Maybe we can have a DIS meet if you get out this way soon.

LOL Jason! Quite possibly, but if my parents move to NM like they're considering doing when my dad retires, and if DH and I could both find jobs we both liked in Albuquerque, even if I didn't like the *city* once I moved there, I *know* I love the area and wouldn't feel so trapped.
