Trip to Santa Fe, Taos and Albuquerque 2025

Several years ago I wanted to take a weeklong trip to Hawaii.  I checked out the trip offered by Road Scholar.  It was a trip to two islands and rather expensive.  So I made a copy of the Itinerary and the hotel information.  I duplicated just the trip to Oahu, Hawaii.  I hosted a Geocaching Event also.

Two years later I was registered for a Road Scholar trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Because a museum was no longer available Road Scholar cancelled the trip shortly before I was to leave.  So I made a copy of the Itinerary and the hotel information.  I duplicated the trip on my own.

In May 2022, I attended the Road Scholar program in New York City.  After I signed up for the program it underwent several changes.  It became more and more physically challenging i.e. walking tour of Harlem rather than visiting the 9-11 Memorial.  I finally decided rather than getting upset I would just ignore the changes and create my own program.  Some things I did with the Road Scholar group and some I did on my own.  I should have bought a t-shirt: "I survived New York City."

I encountered a problem when I tried to register for the Road Scholar trip to Santa Fe et al so next spring I plan to fly to Albuquerque, rent a car and duplicate Road Scholar's Santa Fe, Taos and Albuquerque Trip. I also want to walk across the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge (Earthcache).  Side trips: at Espanola, turn off for visits to Abiquiu, the historic home of artist Georgia O'Keefe, and/or White Rock Visitor Center/Bandelier National Monument.
