So - this gorgeous photo is of the UNM Championship Golf Course, one of the many Albuquerque and surrounding area courses. I can think of worse ways to spend a day than on a golf course! And we've got packages starting at $99 - call us today to book a golf getaway!
Our Valentine's Day Special went well - aside from the snow storm Albuquerque had, that is. There were 12 packages sold. Good to know that love is alive and well, even in the midst of inclement weather! (or maybe because of it....) We had several requests for "fire and ice" roses, which I never could find... :(
And I can't be forgettin' to invite ya ta celebrrrate ole' St. Patrick's Day with us! It'll be a foine celebrrrration for sure - and we're hopin' ta see ya there!
Oh!~ the CBS morning show is coming to Albuquerque! YOU can be on TV when the CBS Early Show comes to Albuquerque on Friday, March 23rd. Dave Price, the Early Show’s meteorologist will broadcast live from Albuquerque for the grand finale of their All-Access Tour promotion.
The broadcast location is to be determined and will take place from 4:30-7am.
Locals are encouraged to attend the broadcast to create a big, diverse, enthusiastic crowd. Albuquerque residents of all ages are invited to attend and bring signs, posters, t-shirts, school mascots, etc. Plan to join the fun! Let’s show the nation what Albuquerque is all about. Watch future newsletters and local media for information on where the shoot will take place.
Dave will whisk some lucky traveler away on the global adventure of a lifetime, and you can be there for the fun! There is still time to register for a chance to win one of the whirlwind weekend getaways at http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/earlyshow/main500202.shtml.
CBS would love to know if you and your friends will be joining Dave, so send an e-mail to LiveinAlbuquerque@cbsnews.com.

One more thing, and then I'll get to our "Concierge Corner" - We are participating in the "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" walk in Albuquerque this year. If you would like to join our walking team or donate a gift towards our goal, click here.
Seeing as how Spring is just around the corner (or, if you are an optimist, already here), I wanted to talk about some of the totally groovy stuff happening in the Albuquerque area this Spring.
First up is El Rancho de las Golondrinas (Ranch of the Swallows). This place is amazing. It's an entire ranch set up as a living history museum. They grow, they harvest, they educate - you can walk the grounds, visit the houses, and enjoy a warm biscochito (the official cookie of New Mexico!). I've been to some similar-types places where they try to convey to you an aura of history, but this place is living history. Bring a picnic lunch or eat there - and don't forget to bring your camera!
Then there's the Navajo Code Talker exhibit at the National Atomic Museum. The Navajo Code Talkers made sure our communications during World War II were indecipherable if intercepted. I was privilidged to witness a presentation by one of the code talkers, the late Dr. Sam Billison, several years ago. If you've never know much about these brave soldiers, this exhibit warrants a visit.
The Fiery Foods Show is back! A tradition here in Albuquerque, the Fiery Foods Show is my test to see how the chile I'm eating this year compares to the chile I ate last year, on a hotness level! I now eat red and green, and I never have to send anything back because it's too hot (as long as I have plenty of tortillas)! That'll be in March at Sandia Casino and Resort.
Ok - so the Annual Chocolate Fantasy is at another hotel. I'll just have to live with that. Because it's an amazing event! You can actually go right from the Fiery Foods show...
And my final pick from the many, many, many, many things going on in the Albuquerque area for this Spring is....
(drumroll please)
The Annual Rio Grande Arts and Crafts Festival March 9-11. It's a regular pilgrimage for me. Getting up early that morning, maybe hitting a few yard sales before heading over to Expo New Mexico! Home of the State Fair. After perusing the Arts and Crafts Festival, I make sure to stop at the State Fair Flea Market for a bite to eat and to wander around and see what treasures can be found.
So - what are YOU going to do on your next visit to Albuquerque?
Following this post is a list of acitivties happening in Albuquerque in March. For dates past March, please visit our Current Events list on our website.
Wishing you a safe a prosperous journey until we meet,
