More Info!
- If you are traveling to New Mexico it is highly advised that you rent a car. All the major car rental companies are located near the Albuquerque International Sunport and are accessible via airport Shuttle.
- Albuquerque's airport is small and unlike most other airports post 9/11, things move quicker. Security checks are not as intense and the check in process is very quick. So plan to get there 2 hours before your departure time, and in the event of a time crunch just remember that there is no need to rush.
- There is a restaurant called La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant which is your last stop for a big bowl of chili stew before the security check!
- Locals pronounce Santa Fe "Sonta"
- When ordering what type of chilies you want on your dish you can order green, red or order "Christmas" which is a combination of both.
