I have actually most likely driven in between AZ and NM a minimum of 100 times in my life and this time it was an entire brand-new experience. We took 117 for a part of the journey and we discovered an all of a sudden sensational drive. We stopped and strolled the brief path approximately La Ventana Arch. It has to do with 18 miles south of Interstate 40 off Exit 89 and it is well worth the stop.

My FAVORITE THING today is my brand-new Fitbit. Keep in mind Fitbit? The bracelet action counter that all of us were utilizing about 10-15 years back?

Ends Up that Fitbit has actually come a long method in the 15 years because their very first tracker was launched. I purchased the Inspire 3 (quite sure it cost less than my very first one too– go figure) and in addition to tracking your actions, there is GPS tracking for strolling or running, a clock with a timer, stop-watch, and an alarm, in addition to O2, workout, heart beat, and sleep screens. Up until now, I actually like it.
