Last weekend we decided to go to Santa Fe for a short trip with friends. Took Friday off and came back Sunday evening.
It was a 2 hour flight. Given my last flight before that was giving me PTSD I prayed to all the gods I know and don’t know that there be no turbulence or delays. The entire group was sending me to the restroom till the plane was about to board. Fortunately little turbulence on the way in. Weather cooperated. We landed and drove from Albuquerque to Santa Fe after getting our rental cars.
Men in one SUV and the ladies in another SUV. We reached our Airbnb an hour later.
The house we rented was the highlight of the trip. It was spacious and cozy at the same time, had amazing views and we had a great time just hanging out together. Also got to take photos during sunrise and sunset and occasionally watch the rain on the deck.
This “hacienda” deserved a post in itself. Here are some pictures and a video of the place itself..
A video highlights reel..
We would definitely recommend this place if you are going as a group of 8 or 9. Fantastic experience. We drove to an Albertsons which was 10 minutes away to shop for groceries and used the kitchen as well.
The rest of the “sightseeing” we managed to do over the two days will be posted over the next week.
My leg was still in a brace this entire trip and it was good I kept the brace. There was a lot of walking every now and then on flat terrain and this was a good test to see how the knee was recovering.
Glad I went on this weekend trip!
