I have been wanting to have a big End of Summer bash here in Albuquerque NM. Figure we'll get everyone we can out here, have a big BBQ, enjoy the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta (Biggest in the world, and one of the neatest things you'll ever see), take a trip up to the Sandia Crest that overlooks ABQ, do some group photos and such, and maybe go to the Sandia Casino or down to cruise around Old Town and have a nice dinner. There are lots of things to do here, but we need to get some of this figured out now, so I can help get rooms booked.

1. BBQ =

2. ABQ Int. Balloon Fiesta = http://www.aibf.org/








3. Sandia Crest = 10,678 Feet. Home of the longest Tramway in the world.

The trip up and down includes a drive down that road shown. Heh.



4. Sandia Casino = http://www.sandiacasino.com/

5. Old Town = http://www.oldtownalbuquerque.com/


Looking at the date for this fest being the 2nd Weekend of October. It's the end of the festival and everything should be great. It might be a bit chilly at night, so bring some warm clothes. Anyone that wants to make it a 3 or 4 day, feel free. I'll have the weekend off so I'm good there.

SO, who, when and where ya stayin?

If you get a definate date (asap) and can give me some phone numbers of local hotels and such I may just have to come down! Well make that I would HAVE to come down :twisted:

REDZMAN

Definate date is the 2nd weekend of October.

LOL

I can prolly have 4 to 6 folks stay here at my place though too. You name the hotel, there is one here in ABQ. This is the 33rd biggest city in the US.

UltraTibby

Just to make sure I got it right. Your talking about the 8th-10th? Also any rough estimate from anyone who has made this drive on how long?

REDZMAN

Yup, them's the dates.

majik

REDZ - for other members, what would be the best Zip Code to use to find hotels closest to you? What zip codes are nearby that they should look for Hotels in?

REDZMAN

Good point.

My ZIP code is...

<span style="font-size:36pt;line-height:100%"><span style="color:red">87109</span></span>

You can also use...
