But I do enjoyed reading of other's travel and experiences while on the go. You've got a good blog going here and I've enjoyed the read. Keep it up and keep on keeping on.

Nobody is entirely comfortable with everything, so stick to what you do enjoy, and just nibble around the edges of anything new until you find out!<BR/><BR/>We enjoyed Carlsbad Canyon five years ago, and Roswell just last year.

Got way back in there with a guide and the electricity went off. Thinking about that to this day makes my stomach jump. You talk about claustrophobia setting in fast. The guide did have a flashlight but he went to get help and left us there in the dark. And hey! It was BLACK. Black is actually putting it lightly (no pun) as to how dark it was. Never again.RoeHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00131723337404316867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724819.post-12835192031226740422009-03-22T18:29:00.000-07:002009-03-22T18:29:00.000-07:00No caves for me either cuz.

Phil ia a Viet Nam veteran and we have seen some really nice memorials around the country. This one was especially nice. <BR/><BR/>Julie: You may be right, my phone will be two years old in June. The CAF began as the "Confederate Air Force" (referring to Texas's cessation during the Civil War)but changed the word to "Commemorative" to be more politically correct. They have 120 aircraft hangered around the country so there may very well be a similar exhibit in Mesa. <BR/><BR/>Les,<BR/>Sydney is a little over 200 miles due east of Artesia, NM on highway 62/180. The cave was awesome until I started feeling sick!Joy and Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14907461600009160766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724819.post-71808924729761442882009-03-22T15:21:00.000-07:002009-03-22T15:21:00.000-07:00Hi Guys,Where the heck is Sydney Texas??

How old is your battery? The ability to hold a charge deteriorates as the battery ages. I see the effect when my battery hits about 2 years old. Oh well, you were going to the Verizon store anyway, so they'll diagnose whatever the problem is; good luck with that!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>Julie<BR/><BR/>P.S. Thanks for all the pictures; the CAF looks similar to one we saw in Mesa, AZ in January, which was *extremely* interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724819.post-60353165625375727482009-03-22T12:20:00.000-07:002009-03-22T12:20:00.000-07:00enjoyed all of your pictures and esp. the tributes...enjoyed all of your pictures and esp. the tributes to the Viet Nam vets. thought it was funny though that you had the Carlsbad ENTRANCE instead of calling it the all important EXIT. i have been in one cave (Manmouth Cave in TN?) and although I enjoyed it THAT time, i don't think I have a need to go into another. sort of like river rafting---once was enough. :)+Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11327302239971224387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724819.post-12582123439848914072009-03-22T12:18:00.000-07:002009-03-22T12:18:00.000-07:00enjoyed your pictures. thought it was funny thoug...enjoyed your pictures. thought it was funny though that you had it labeled "entrance" at Carlsbad instead of EXIT!!!! i went into Manmouth (sp?)
