Most of my weekend was spent at my office, dealing with an ever-expanding load of work associated with upcoming client conferences. My wife's hours at the office exceeded mine by quite alot. These are hard times at the office, especially now that we have new people on staff and remain understaffed and continue to have a staff member who is well below acceptable performance, thanks to her recent illness.
I've convinced my wife, though, that our anniversary in April (27 years) should be an event for celebration. Naturally, we have client events before and after, so we cannot take time off then. But I have made plans to go to Albuquerque, New Mexico in early May, where we will rent a car and wander a bit. Then, we'll go to Santa Fe and environs and try to enjoy the complete change of scenery and get into the desert for some desolation. I've yet to arrange for hotel accommodations in Albuquerque or Santa Fe, so will appreciate any advice. We like our privacy, so a B&B would have to have private quarters...but I do so like really nice, private B&Bs. Our trip will be brief...Thursday-Sunday...but will provide a much-needed respite.

I don't know of any B&Bs in Albuquerque, but I can tell you other places to go. I'll try to think of a list. My friend has a shop in Old Town which you should go to. I'll ask her if she knows of any B&Bs.
If you go to Flying Star (a local restaurant with several locations) get the Buddha Bowl and think of me.
More later when I can think....
You could always simply rent the entire B&B...;-)
Sorry, I don't have any recommendations, other than to say, I hope you and your wife have a really great time. I've driven through New Mexico and found it to be quite beautiful.
Kathy, I'll definitely have to go to the Flying Star and order the Buddha Bowl. Phil, that's a great idea...can you send me the money to rent the whole thing? I'll pay you back the first chance I get. Robin, I love the starkness of the landscape in the parts of New Mexico that my wife and I have visited...and any scenery that Georgia O'Keefe enjoyed is good scenery for me.
