As far as Albuquerque goes, its spreaded out a lot. I liked it but the only downfall was that I didn't plan to be driving so much, I figured that it'd be a few to see things in the middle of town but I coudn't be more wrong. Do- Go Downtown and see the old fashioned neon signs from the good old Route 66 days or visit the "haunted" KiMo Theatre. Don't- Go alone downtown, its to be enjoyed with other people to bar hop, to cruise, to wander about, plus its like anyother metro-downtown- enough said. Do- Go up the Tram in the Sandias or even hike the Sandias Don't- Go unprepared, bring money, a camera, bring food if not willing to dish out more than $20 a plate at the restaruant up on the peak, and of course water if hiking, children friendly. Do- Go to Nob Hill and continue enjoying Route 66 Do- Go to Old Town, maybe spend half a day, even though that wasn't long enough for me to see everything, children friendly. Don't- Frown and think that all these places are horrible tourist traps. They are what attract tourist but I've actually met Albuquerque locals at these places doing a day trip. Do- Buy some Genuine Turquoise, some believe by wearing it it brings good luck and by wearing Coral it'll ward away bad spirits Don't- Buy imitation semi-precious stones or be suckered to do so Do- Soak in the New Mexican attitude, relax and don't be too worrisome. Do- Try their chile, its different from Texan and Arizonan chili. And also their food, its yummy. Do- Visit the petroglyphs, one of the Pueblos, or their cultural centers or museums, children friendly.
