O'Neille,

Umm, I'm about six hours from Albuquerque by way of shortcuts across the Rez.

Its about the same drive from Phoenix, which is farther west than you are in Sierra Vista. You're probably better off going straight to Albuquerque from your own front door. Take I-10 then cut across at Lordsburg, through Silver City, to I-25 south of Truth or Consequences.

Its a beautiful drive though and Albuquerque is a great city to visit. If you take your young one be sure to visit Sandia Peak via the Tram.

When you go to get measured take some extra money. She often has a supply of kilt hose on hand. Pay and take it...a rare treat with kilt hose outside of highland games.
