Doa Arroyos

Let's just call it the day with no sleep! On Tuesday evening, when I was supposed to be packing, I was processing earlier news. Since I had to leave at 3am for the airport, and my mind would not settle, sleep was evaded.
My new friends from Sri Lanka woke early and drove me to the airport. YQM > YYZ was uneventful and as usual the custom line was long. I have been approved for Nexus since August but the card has not yet arrived. I mentioned to the guard I was Nexus approved (but didn't have the card) and she sent me directly to thecounter.
YYZ > DEN had a seat between me and the other passenger, so I could stretch but still no sleep. Long layover in Denver (it is a massive airport), so I took the time to get a nice shoe shine for my Blunstones and explore the airport.
DEN > ABQ was a short flight and my head kept falling as I was tired. Booked my Uber before the plane was even at the gate (the benefit of travelling with carry on only) and off to the rental car place. Travelling Tip: It is usually always cheap to rent outside the airport and just get a ride to the rental company (or Turo). I have a Equinox till Halloween -- rental prices are still ridiculous and it will be the biggest expense of the trip. I needed a 4x4 or AWD according to the people I am staying with.
I was worried about driving 3.5hrs with no sleep, but I made it just before dark. I am in a remote location north of Toas, NM looking after 2 beautiful dogs and a gorgeous house for the next 6 days.
Leslie made me an amazing dinner and we are outside in the courtyard, by the fireplace -- then off to La La land at 9pm (midnight east coast time). Looking forward to exploring the property tomorrow!Baca lagi
