It looks like she wants to stay in a B&B. I’m okay with that. My sister suggested staying in the Old Town area as there’s lots to do (shopping, museums, shopping, eating and more shopping). I can do that too. It’s getting out to and back from the balloon launch area that has me mystified. We’re both in our mid-70s. She doesn’t walk far because of a degenerative hip condition. Outside of driving myself, I’ll assume there are buses and the like that can get you out there and back. But I’m at a loss right now. What have you experienced for the Albuquerque area and the balloon festival? Never too old to learn

If you can find one book a room in a Hotel. Avoid motels. Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Just the right amount of whelm.

You can park in safe areas and city bus will take you to the festival grounds and bring you back. Inexpensive and beats fighting the traffic which can even back up the Interstate. This is what we did when out of state relatives came to see the balloons.
