we are so out of here..

UPDATED Sun, 8 June: added pages 8-9

Charlie finally picked a time for his sabbatical, and CJ managed to get a month off AT THE SAME TIME... so off we went!  

First stop: Carlsbad Caverns, NM

                  If you've never been to Carlsbad Caverns, GO!  The caves are amazing, the Park Rangers are brilliant, and the part when they turn off all the lights is almost spiritual... until someone in the group thinks they feel a spider on their arm...

                  Since this is our first RV long trip, we expected some learning curve... but we didn't expect the really annoying little things... like CJ running over a HUGE rock in the Honda and having a piece of plastic knocked off... Charlie made an odd little "NNNNGAH!" noise... but we shook it off and continue to enjoy ourselves.  Next stop: Albuquerque
