When you don't know where you are going to end up, it truly feels like you are on a road to nowhere.
Today's goal was Tombstone, AZ.
We are not going to make it.
We got too late a start and now it is out of reach for the night.
We decide to break for a late lunch in Las Cruces, NM.
I look on Yelp for a place that has received good reviews.
It seems to me that New Mexico is really proud of their cooking in this state.
I have to say that I haven't really been impressed.
Other factors come into play now when choosing a place to dine at.
The biggest one is of course wheelchair accessibility.
The first restaurant I lock on to looks great, if only they were wheelchair accessible.
The second place with have to do.
We pass a Chili's on the way to it and ask if my Mom would rather go there.
She doesn't. I think she's had her fill of Chili's at this point.
We find the restaurant and are able to quickly get in.
It is mid-afternoon and there are only a couple of tables being used at this point.
The restaurant looks nice but there are flies buzzing around.
I wonder if that is a New Mexico thing?
My Mom is looking for the margarita menu here. It's a mexican restaurant so it is a fair assumption.
The waiter greets us and takes our drink order.
My Mom asks if they serve margaritas here.
He sort of chuckles and tells us "No."
We move on from the disappointment of no booze and start focusing on where we are going to go next.
It takes us almost twenty minutes to finalize a location.
Up to now, we've decided what town to stop in, find a Holiday Inn Express, call them, book the room, and then we were done.
We were having no luck today.
We call three different places in three different cities and we can't find something that is going to work for us.
Finally, we land on Dening, New Mexico. The Holiday Inn here won't work for us. They don't have a roll in shower. There a La Quinta in right next door to it and that will work.
We won't be driving as far as we want to but at least we now know where we are going.
