>>Do you have slut machines in the casinos? <<

Yes, they are down the road in Vegas.

Thanks for the big laugh today, Dayenu!! LOL!!!

Slut machines, an inside joke :o)

I take it this is a "funny" post, but there use to be maps printed without New Mexico on them. Arizona hit Texas and NO New Mexico!

I guess I forgot to ask:

Is it safe there?

Where do I go through customs coming back?

LOL

If you want to visit White Sands it's pretty easy to get there.

Keep going east right into Hell and make a quick left, right before you hit the center.

Dayenu Jul 15th, 2011 08:20 AM

Dare I ask, the center of what? :)

if I were you, I would watch out for the injuns, there everywhere behind rocks, trees and slut machines ... you'll need a visa to see us real injuns as well on the rez

This is from another forum, the answers are hilarious:

Will I need a visa?
Yes, not only that you need to bribe the officer also.

Should I get currency now, or use ATM?
No ATM's, it's good to bring cheap jewelry and trade with the locals.

Will my cell phone work, or do I need a SIM card?
Cell phones? Are you kidding?

I am going in October – will Sandia open by then?
All bars are open during the Festival

Will I be OK speaking English only?
Of course, but nobody will understand you.

What to wear on the plane?
Thongs will be great and sufficient. And I don't mean flip flops.

Do I need a pin code for my credit card?
What credit card? And what's a PIN?

What’s the fastest and cheapest way to get to my hotel room?
An escorted army truck will bring you to your hotel if there is one.

How can I see Albuquerque in one day?
10 minutes will be great.

Is it safe there?
Tijuana will be a lot safer.

Where do I go through customs coming back?
Not a chance you ever will get back....

We got back - who knew :-p

We didn't need visas, and the currency question was solved easily: New Mexico = New Peso :D

Seriously, I will post my report when done with the photos - hopefully by Friday. We had such great time!

LSky Oct 24th, 2011 05:54 PM

I'm glad you made it back WHEW!

Did you go to White Sands?

Dayenu Oct 24th, 2011 06:29 PM

No, it was not on the itinerary.
